"The War-Workers" by E. M. Delafield is a novel set during World War I, focusing on the lives of women engaged in war work at the Midland Supply Depôt in Questerham. The story primarily revolves around Charmian Vivian, the director of the depot, who is portrayed as a dedicated and efficient leader, albeit with a tendency towards self-importance and a lack of empathy for her subordinates. The narrative explores the interactions and tensions among the women working under her, including her secretary, Miss Delmege, who is eager to please and gain favor, and Miss Plumtree, who struggles with the demands of the job. The novel delves into the personal sacrifices and challenges faced by these women, highlighting the societal expectations and personal changes that drive them. Through the lens of their daily routines and the pressures of wartime responsibilities, Delafield paints a vivid picture of the era's social dynamics and the evolving roles of women. The story also touches on the personal lives of the characters, including Charmian's relationship with her family and her cousin, Captain Trevellyan, who provides a contrasting perspective on the war effort. Overall, "The War-Workers" offers a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of duty, devotion, and the pursuit of recognition in a time of national crisis.
