The War-Workers by E. M. Delafield is a compelling novel set during World War I, focusing on the lives of women engaged in the British war effort on the home front. The story centers around a group of female characters working in an office dedicated to volunteerism and leadership. Through vivid descriptions of their daily routines, Delafield explores the social dynamics and interpersonal relationships that emerge among the workers. The novel examines class structure as these women, from various backgrounds, unite under a common purpose but still confront personal conflicts. Themes of duty, sacrifice, and the pressures of leadership permeate the narrative, revealing how the war influences their interactions and sense of identity. Delafield's portrayal of office life amidst the chaos of war offers an insightful look into the roles women played beyond the battlefield, illustrating their resilience and contributions to the war effort.
