Focuses on the impact women and children had during WWII in Evansville, Indiana. Evansville became the highest producing city per capita in the nation, and had the highest percentage increase in population in the U.S. in 1942. It was also the nation's leading producer of LSTs, and of P-47s on a per pound basis. While jobs were vacated by men going off to war, women filled these jobs and also new ones that were created by products that were now in demand by the military. Both women and children were hard at work on the home front doing whatever they could to help win the war. Contains hundreds of photographs and historical highlights.
