The Shipyard Agent

As an undercover investigator, Augusta Clawson was assigned to Portland's Swan Island Shipyard to join the ranks of female welders in World War II. Meanwhile, she surreptitiously sent reports back to Washington, DC, cataloging her daily observations and offering an unfiltered representation of the difficult, exhausting work these women performed. The full story of her role in establishing improved training and safety guidelines for the women laboring to build America's ships has not been told-until now.
