About this listen

They watched their sons, their brothers, and their husbands enlist to fight a growing menace across the seas.

And when their nation asked, they answered the call as well …

Virginia longs to find a purpose beyond others' expectations

Helen is driven by a loneliness money can't fulfill

Rosa is desperate to flee her in-laws' rules

Jean hopes to prove herself in a man's world

Under the storm clouds of destruction that threaten America during the early 1940s, this unlikely gathering of women will experience life in sometimes starling new ways as their beliefs are challenged and they struggle toward a new understanding of what love and sacrifice truly mean.

I enjoyed The relationships and weaving various issues into the story. Heartwarming look at women’srights, racism forgiveness and grief and faith.

What a beautiful story of faith, friendship, and inner strength in the face of loss, uncertainty, fears, and new beginnings. 'A Woman's Place' has joined the ranks of my favourite stories from Lynn Austin such as 'Hidden Places', 'Eve's daughter's', 'Fire by Night', and the 'Waves of Mercy' series. The narration was spot on as always with Christina Moore.

Beautiful story, beautifully narrated

Great story and narration.
Very poor chapter editing and numbering. Annoying rather than a distraction.

Easy listen

A very different prospective of WW2. Very good. Interesting insight into life at this time through the eyes of women struggling through the sterotypes of the roles assigned to them at this time in history. Thoroughly recommend, well written and a great narrator.
