K. Yates is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book documents the significant role women played in munitions production during World War I, illustrating their contributions to engineering and manufacturing in the face of societal expectations. The narrative emphasizes the transformation of women's roles in industries traditionally dominated by men, detailing their collective efforts to support the war. The opening portion of the book discusses the initial entry of women into engineering trades, driven by a pressing need for labor as men were recruited for military service. Yates highlights the diverse backgrounds of these women, who came from various professions, including domestic service and education, demonstrating their willingness to step into unfamiliar and physically demanding roles. The text captures the spirit of cooperation and solidarity among women workers, who often shared tasks with individuals from different social classes, thus breaking down pre-war social barriers. It further portrays their bravery and adaptability as they took on responsibilities that had previously been deemed unsuitable for women, establishing a new norm in the workforce.
