Women of Steel

Two women, two different worlds,

One friendship that will change them both forever...

Emma Mitchel, daughter of a Bethlehem Steel executive, has everything money can buy, except her freedom. Emma longs to escape her gilded cage, but her domineering mother's only goal is to marry her off. Faced with an impossible choice, will Emma save her family or follow her heart?

Maeve McCarthy, the daughter of Irish immigrants, knows the true cost of steel. Her father and brother toil in the heat of the blast furnaces, while she resigns herself to the tedium of the silk mill. A new friendship offers an opportunity beyond her wildest dreams, but then a scandal threatens to destroy everything.

Women of Steel is a saga of the early 20th century when steel was king, and Pennsylvania's Bethlehem Steel Company was the second-largest producer in America. A turbulent time racked by labor unrest, a devastating epidemic, and the rise of women's rights. It is also the immersive story of two women whose special bond survives love, loss, and terrible tragedy as they finally find their places in the modern world.
