The Steel Girls series by Michelle Rawlins is set in Sheffield during World War II, following a group of women who leave their homes to work in the city’s steel factories. The first book, The Steel Girls (2021), introduces the main characters as they adjust to hard, dangerous labor. Christmas Hope for the Steel Girls arrived the same year, covering the holiday season during wartime.
Subsequent books move through different phases of the war: Steel Girls on the Home Front (2022) and Steel Girls at War (2023) deal with escalating conflict, while Steel Girls in the Blitz (2024) puts the characters through bombing raids. Joy for the Steel Girls (2025) brings the series to a close with the search for happiness after years of struggle.
