Recognition for Women of Steel

I’ve just been reading about the Women of Steel – women who worked in factories in the UK during Word War II:

it fell to the women of the city to keep the steel mills working and during the course of the conflict, thousands juggled family life with the demands of heavy industry …  But when peacetime came they were unceremoniously dumped from their jobs – their vital role on the home front largely forgotten.

Last week they received recognition for their work from the Ministry of Defence.
