Women workers in a brass fitting shop in England are the subject of this glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, distributed images like this one to newspapers and magazines, and its title comes from caption information the agency recorded at the time, so the details have not been independently verified. The picture belongs to a wartime and early twentieth-century interest in women taking up skilled industrial work, when many were moving into metalworking trades once closed to them. Its date is unrecorded, so the exact year and the specific works remain uncertain.
