And who were these seven million women?
The eldest daughter of a duke and the daughter of a general won distinction in advanced munition work.

The only daughter of an old Army family broke down after a year's work in a base hospital in France, was ordered six months' rest at home, but after two months entered a munition factory as an ordinary employee and after nine months' work had lost but five minutes working time.

The mother of seven enlisted sons went into munitions not to be behind them in serving England, and one of them wrote her she was probably killing more Germans than any of the family.

The stewardess of a torpedoed passenger ship was among the few survivors.

Reaching land, she got a job at a capstan lathe.
