Delafield's literary style is characterized by wit and satire, making the story both entertaining and thought-provoking. The novel is set in a bustling wartime London, where the protagonist, a young woman named Guy, becomes involved in various war efforts, shedding light on the often-overlooked contributions of female war-workers. Delafield's attention to detail and vivid descriptions immerse the reader in the challenges and triumphs faced by women on the home front. As an author and activist, E. M. Delafield drew from her own experiences as a volunteer during WWI to write 'The War-Workers.' Her firsthand knowledge of the struggles and accomplishments of women in wartime lends authenticity to the novel's portrayal of female solidarity and resilience. Delafield's feminist perspective adds depth to the narrative, highlighting the complexity of gender roles in a time of crisis. I highly recommend 'The War-Workers' to readers interested in feminist literature, historical fiction, and the impact of war on society. Delafield's insightful exploration of gender dynamics and wartime experiences makes this novel a compelling and enlightening read.

Autorenporträt
E.M. Delafield, the pen name of Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture, was a prolific English author, best known for her largely autobiographical 'Diary of a Provincial Lady' series, which satirically depicted the life of an upper-middle-class Englishwoman in the 1930s. Born on June 9, 1890, in Steyning, Sussex, Delafield was the daughter of the novelist Mrs. Henry de la Pasture. Delafield's enduring contributions to literature began after World War I, exploring themes of feminism, social satire, and domestic life. Her novel 'The War-Workers' (1918), showcases Delafield's sharp understanding of women's roles and the impact of war on British society. It reveals her capacity to combine social critique with entertainment, a hallmark of her literary style that she developed further in subsequent works. Delafield was not just a novelist but also wrote for periodicals and journals, contributing astute observations on contemporary life. Her incisive wit and irony are evident in her writing, and these attributes secured her place among the noteworthy British authors of the early 20th century. Delafield passed away on December 2, 1943, but her work continues to be celebrated for its dexterity in capturing the essence of her times and her compelling portrayal of female experience.
