In Michigan during WW II, four women from different walks of life want to help the fight against the Nazis, so they follow the ads of Rosie to accept jobs in factories. Ginny is a bored mousy housewife who assumes her spouse has cheated on her. Rosa fears nothing, not even her new in-laws who demand she fit the mold of a nice Italian girl now that she is married to their son. Jean wants to leave the farm and her boyfriend Russ behind to attend college. Helen feels all alone since her parents death makes the spinster school teacher wealthy and depressed. These four females meet and forge a sisterly bond, helping one another cope better with their problems and trepidations.
Lynn Austin provides a deep historical look at A WOMAN'S PLACE during WWII, when many of the gender stereotypes were broken. Each member of the quartet has problems with what society expects of them, to include whether to obey is God's way. Inspirational fans and historical readers will enjoy the pivotal period in women's rights when proof became obvious that a female can do much more than housekeep and raising a family; we have come a long way baby.
