What this book is about

Helen Fraser's 1918 account of women's contributions to the British war effort during World War I documents how women moved into factories, administrative roles, and public life as the war depleted male labor. Fraser — herself a prominent suffragist and politician — writes with both admiration for women's achievements and awareness of the complex politics around their position. A valuable primary source from the era.
