Despite her agreement with her parents to only work in the office she finds her way to the munitions floor to make, what she considers, a significant contribution to the effort. Despite initial prejudices Gladys finds herself being accepted by her co-workers.
Kate, who ran from her religiously abusive father to find her way in the munitions factory, and Betty, the outwardly tough but lonely girl who befriends Kate, also bring their own dramatic twists to the plot. Edith, who is forced to deal with the issues of losing her husband during the war and raising two young children alone, helps to round out the human element of the story of what these women endure to do their patriotic duty for the war effort, while dealing with open prejudice.
