Michelle Rawlins writes historical fiction set in wartime Sheffield, England. Her Steel Girls series, which began in 2021, follows women who take on dangerous factory work to support the war effort. The six novels track these characters through Christmas celebrations, home front struggles, the Blitz, and the search for joy amid hardship.
Before writing the novels, Rawlins published Women of Steel (2020), a non-fiction book documenting the real stories of women who worked in Sheffield’s steel industry during World War II. That research provided the foundation for her fiction series, grounding the novels in historical detail.
