Pearl Harbor is attacked, and three young women take jobs in industry. Before the war ends, one will lose a nephew to combat, one will receive a mysterious inheritance, and one will refuse a marriage proposal, after admitting that she’s never been attracted to men. They’ll forge lifelong bonds, and discover a shared past. When the war ends, they’ll reject aprons and heels. Wax is a story of strong female friendship, sexual discovery, and long-held secrets, set in the 1940’s, as the seeds of the civil rights and feminists movements are sown -- along with victory gardens. It’s fiction inspired by the real lives of “Rosies” who came of age during WWII. The women in Wax struggle to break their mothers’ molds; they ultimately find happiness through self awareness and acceptance. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

If the first possible story centered on interesting tale of these women competently filling in the men's jobs, the second would be a Steinbeck-esque story of central California and failed railroads, and the third story would be one centering on the difficulties of women facing their sexuality. As it is, each of these potentially outstanding stories is minimally presented. I wanted much more than I found. ( )
