Uncover the stories of ninety intrepid Canadians who served on the home front from 1939 to 1945.

On September 10, 1939, CBC Radio interrupted their broadcast with the historic announcement that Canada had declared war on Nazi Germany. From that moment, hundreds of thousands of war workers - predominantly women - conclusively forged a new culture within the nation's labour, home, and political environs.

offers ninety amazing stories of these women, gleaned from every corner of society, from farmers' daughters to lawyers, from impoverished immigrants to Rosedale elite, from high school students to great-grandmothers, with every narrative unique, intimately personal, and painstakingly examined. In this book, you'll find stories of faith, loss, love, sacrifice, and devotion to family and country.

These never-before-told stories offer a culturally rich history of the women who served at home during the Second World War.
