"With the return to peacetime production after the end of the war, an immediately important question facing the Women's Bureau was: What has happened to women war workers ...? The Women's Bureau explored this question by a resurvey during the fall of 1946 of a group of former women war workers in Baltimore who had been interviewed in the fall of 1944"--Leaf [1].

Wives of Steel is based on more than eighty formal interviews conducted over a fifteen-year period with women and some men, both white and black, all of whom were part of Sparrows Point as workers, spouses, or longtime residents of the local communities. Through the stories they tell, we see how a male-dominated industry has influenced personal, family, and social experiences over several generations. We also see the distinct differences and surprising similarities among the lives of black and white women, which often reflect the complicated relationships among black and white steelworkers in the plant.
