Twelve Canadian women, aged between 86 and 101, recall their entry into what had formerly been a 'man's world' of munitions factories and farm labor. The film celebrates their wartime accomplishment, suggesting that their determination helped lead the way to momentous changes for women in postwar society -- changes such as voting rights and expanded career opportunties -- that solidified the early gains of the women's rights movement in Canada.
