The war-workers

This story follows a group of women all employed at the same war office. The majority of the workers live together in a hostel, while the director is from a higher class and lives on the family estate away from the town. The director, her family, and one of the workers are the main characters of the story, though all characters involve get their lime light.

The story is a great character study, while being entertaining and giving you a glimpse of how those on the home front doing war work in WWI lived their lives.
