Biography
Flora MacPherson was one of the first women welders at the John Brown & Company shipyard on the Clyde, where she helped build warships and merchant vessels vital to the war effort. Working long shifts in dangerous conditions, Flora and her fellow women workers were essential to keeping Britain's naval strength intact. After the war she remained in shipbuilding until the 1960s.
Biography (Russian)
Флора МакФерсон была одной из первых женщин-сварщиц на верфи «Джон Браун энд Компани» на Клайде, где помогала строить военные корабли и торговые суда, необходимые для военных усилий. Работая долгие смены в опасных условиях, Флора и её коллеги-женщины были незаменимы для поддержания морской мощи Британии. После войны она осталась в судостроении до 1960-х годов.
