An oral history of women factory workers in the Weybridge, Surrey area during the Second World War.
Introduction :
This booklet is based on a series of oral history interviews with women who had worked in factories during WW2. They were conducted in 1999 as the final part of the Open University course Oral History Project: Experiences and Consequences of the Second World War and submitted to the OU as part of an assessment for a Diploma in Modern Social History Research.
The research considers the experiences of the work that the women did in the factories, the conditions that they worked in, their social background, the attitudes of the women themselves, their parents and fellow male workers; and how their war time work affected their post-war lives.
