Herbert Illuminations: Women Factory Workers in the Second World War

During the Second World War women were recruited on a large scale to meet the labour shortage created by men going to war. Coventry’s major role in industry at the time meant that large numbers of women were engaged in war work in factories in the city. This talk, with the Herbert’s Charlene Price, will explore how women were recruited into the factories in Coventry, their pay and working conditions, how their work was balanced with home life and what happened to the factory workers at the end of the war. Booking is not required.
