Women of Steel
A documentary about the part played by women in the Sheffield munitions factories during the Second World War. The women talk about the jobs they did, the unions, the conditions, and how they combined all this with their home responsibilities. Their interviews are intercut with archive film and stills showing the propaganda images of women munitions workers during that period.
We will be joined by Christine Bellamy who worked with Sheffield Film Co-op on the production of the film.
