Our August 8 meeting will feature author Barbara Dickson. Her first non-fiction book, Bomb Girls: Trading Aprons for Ammo, was an absorbing record of Canada’s biggest WWII munitions plant, located in Scarborough with over 21,000 employees, predominantly women, working with high explosives during the Second World War. It was followed by Bomb Girls: United for Peace. Learn more about Barbara Dickson, her books and her research on the website: barbaradickson.ca Here you can also discover more about the Bomb Girls and how their story has proliferated in recent years, with recognition in several forms of media including film, TV and installations.
