A Woman's War Too: U.S. Women in the Military in World War II
SKU N-01-100018
Edited by Paula Nassen Poulos
More than 350,000 women volunteered to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II. This volume, comprising the proceedings of a conference held at the National Archives at College Park, is a compelling account of these volunteers' groundbreaking efforts to establish women's units within the traditional military service branches.
Leading figures in women's and military studies, social and military historians, document specialists, and women veterans examined such themes as: "Making History: Women, the Military, and Society," "Contributing to the War Effort," "Confronting the Realities of Service Life," and "Documenting Women's Service: Memoirs, Museums, and Historical Collections." Archival photographs of servicewomen who contributed to the Allied war effort illustrate this much-needed book.
