About this listen

 While their men fight, America's women produce what's necessary for victory. In a Michigan shipyard, four female co-workers forge a strong bond of friendship that, combined with faith, helps them to overcome oppression, despair, and tragedy - and find love in unlikely places.

Written from four diverse viewpoints, A Woman's Place is an emotionally rich glimpse of life in World Ware II America.

Lynn Austin's three Christy Awards include one for Hidden Places, which was made into a popular Hallmark film.

I have read this book before but Christina Moore’s narration brought the characters to life in such a wonderful way. As always, Lynn Austin’s books are a joy to both listen to and read.

A very different prospective of WW2. Very good. Interesting insight into life at this time through the eyes of women struggling through the sterotypes of the roles assigned to them at this time in history. Thoroughly recommend, well written and a great narrator.
