A Mouthful of Rivets: Women at Work in World War II (Jossey Bass Social and Behavioral Science Series)

A Mouthful of Rivets is the oral history of the women who took part in World War II on the homefront. In more than one hundred interviews, Nancy Baker Wise and Christy Wise create a textured portrait of the challenges and triumphs these powerful women experienced. Each woman vividly describes how she overcame discrimination, harassment, emotional and physical challenges, and inadequate training to successfully meet the needs of defense production while bringing the American economy to its height.

An interesting view into the women on the home front

The number of women who tell their stories in this book is fantastic, it allows for women who worked in all kinds of fields during the war to tell their stories. Though the title makes it sound like the women were all riveters or working in plane factories that is decidedly untrue. The book has stories of women who welded ships, women who worked at weather stations, and more. They all have something to add and provide a great understanding of what they went through during the war.
