For about 75 cents a day—three-quarters of what men make—women in Ledo, India, carry coal to railway cars. The city's rail line made it the terminus of one of the most controversial and ambitious engineering feats of World War II: the building of a military supply road through Burma, then held by the Japanese. The Allied forces who built the road were plagued by monsoons, disease, and enemy fire.
