Cynical young gossip columnist Jane Benjamin joins FDR's Office of War Information, a propaganda unit, to find a Wendy-the-Welder poster girl to urge more women to the shipyard work essential to America's winning World War II--and, incidentally, to make herself into the new Hedda Hopper. But somebody doesn't want those women at work.During a five-day contest to beat the world speed record for building a liberty ship, Jane investigates the lives of the first women welders and learns more about her flyboy former lover's secret post-Pearl Harbor mission--and her cynicism begins to melt. But when inspectors find and publicize a series of flaws in the contest-week welding, the women welders are blamed. Worse, two poster girl candidates are killed.Are they being sabotaged by a belligerent male shipyard supervisor? The industrialist shipyard owner with a history of controlling women?
