Summary:
"Halifax women won the Second World War -- but not in the ways you might have been told. We all know the stories of Canadian women during the war who trained as machinists, welders, and streetcar drivers to fill the shoes of men who answered the call. We know how women kept the home fires lit while their husbands, brothers, and fathers fought. This is not that story. 'The volunteers: how Halifax women won the Second World War' is the story of Halifax women who geared up in a flash to focus on the comfort, community connections, and mental health of Halifax's exploding population of sailors, soldiers, airmen, and merchant mariners. These women did a job no government could have organized or afforded. They did it without being asked. And they did it with no respite from their daily duties. The book examines the untold stories of the hardworking women whose unpaid and unacknowledged labour won the Second Wold War." --Back cover.
