'There is hardly any kind of work left where [women] have not
succeeded in taking the place of men', explains this pamphlet from
the Second World War. First published in 1942, Eve in Overalls
highlights the huge contribution made by women to the war eff ort.
From air-raid wardens, signallers, electricians and drivers, to
roles in the Navy, Air Force and territorial services, it describes
how women entered the workplace as never before. At moments
shocking, Eve in Overalls reflects a time when women in the
workplace were viewed with curiosity and fascination, and the style
and language can seem amusing to readerstoday. It provides a
fascinating and eye-opening insight into the dedicated and
hardworking women who helped Britain win the war.
