This file relates to photographs depicting women in the munitions workforce during the First World War. These photographs were mounted on boards to be reproduced as an instructional book issued by the Imperial Munitions Board of Canada, through the Ontario Minister of Education. Published in 1916, The "Women in the Production of Munitions in Canada" brochure emphasizes the practicality of female labour in the munitions workforce during the Dilution of Labour Act. This text was designed to showcase the value of women's work in the munitions manufacturing sector through photographs taken in Canada by the Imperial Munitions Board Engineering Department.
