A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MUNITION WORKER

GB 1917, P War Office Cinematograph Committee, Print b/w, 35mm, 10 min, silent, BFI National Archive

The women in the film are all very young and would have earned more money than they could have dreamed of in service, agriculture or private industry. From contemporary reports this gave them a taste for independence that would be hard to give up when the war was over. (Bryony Dixon, Make More Noise! Suffragettes in Silent Film)
