They work in munitions factories, building the arms that keep their overseas husbands, lovers, brothers and sons alive and fighting. For these women, the freedoms they're fighting for... come to include their own.
While they're building bombs, women also find themselves flourishing with new found freedom, discovering strengths they never before imagined. At the same time they're often woefully under-equipped for the new challenges they face. Amid propaganda and sexual harassment, crossing social and cultural boundaries, these remarkable women form a sisterhood never experienced before.
BOMB GIRLS delves into the lives of exceptional women — peers, friends and rivals. There's the fiery rich girl Gladys looking to escape her crushing social expectations. There's gentle, honey-voiced Kate who lands on a raft of secrets.
There's tough-talking Betty who's finally found a place where she belongs. And the gritty matron Lorna, whose heart blossoms through the power of work and unforeseen romance. The women form an unexpected kinship, while contending with the fathers, brothers, coworkers and suitors who are also facing various struggles (and advantages) of staying home.
When your overseas lover could be shot dead tomorrow, when the materials you work with could explode in your face today, when you're not sure if the free world will even be standing next month... you play your cards how you want — and you don't play by the old rules.
