Excellent book about a group of women working in a munitions factory during WWI. Who knew TNT was such a dangerous substance. The best part was the story about Soccer as men were fighting the girls were able to play. Multiple issues. It is a longish book but great for bookclub
A very soothing book, overall. The setting is a large old house in PA. Characters disagree about quilting techniques.Sarah uncovers a decades- old family estrangement which she hope to reconcile through the camraderie of a quilting bee.
Very enjoyable, even though I know less than nothing about quilting!

Mathematics and Freedom of Expression
Ada Lovelace struggled against her repressive mother as well as fear of "madness" inherited from the estranged father she never met. Her only outlet was the study of mathematics. Her mother forbade her to follow any "imagination". As an adult, her repressed imagination conceived of the possibilities we have only now realized through computers. Very inspiring!

I never had! "Canary Girls" was a nickname for a particular group of munitionettes, which in turn was a name used for women who worked in British ammunition plants during World War I. Canary girls did some of the most dangerous work, filling bomb shells with explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT), which also turned their skin and hair yellow - hence the nickname. In some cases, though, canary girls suffered more serious health problems.
The story is told through three main narrators - April, a former housemaid; Lucy, wife of a soccer (British football) player and mother of two sons; and Helen, a second-generation German who is the wife of the manager of one of the munitions plants. April and Lucy are canary girls; Helen joins the plant administration to be their advocate. All three play for the plant's women's football team, trying to win the (real) Munitionettes' Cup. Other women working in the plant and playing on the team, as well as a few men (Lucy's and Helen's husbands, and one of the latter's assistants), round out the minor characters.
Author Jennifer Chiaverini herself described the book as "Rosie the Riveter meets A League of Their Own" (the movie about women's professional baseball during World War II), and that's pretty accurate. Although I'm not a sports fan, I really enjoyed this story.… (plus d'informations)
