	Whitby Women in the Second World War This year's Pass the Book selection is The Factory Voice by Jeanette Lynes. It's a light-hearted mystery that tells the story of four women trying to achieve their dreams while working at an aircraft factory in Northern Ontario during the Second World War. To accompany this exciting story, we've put together a collection of images that highlight just some of the ways Whitby women supported the war effort.
