All in a Day’s Work
As the title suggests, this book has a theme of women at work in Coventry. Many of the old factories that were part of Coventry’s industrial heritage, such as Courtaulds, GEC, the many ribbon weaving enterprises and watchmaking businesses are brought to life by the memories of women who worked in these industries.
There is an article about a woman who became the landlady of a popular public house during the war years. Winnie Lakin who became a Lord Mayor of Coventry in 1986 was noted for her approach to curbing spending on Council entertaining during her year of office and lived to the age of 95. There are also accounts of women working on the canal.
