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.
