Inspiring!
Humility, cutting edge, diverse…
A perceptive accounting of the women’s contribution to the WWII wartime effort. 350,000 were involved in diverse roles including pilots, instructors, ferrying supplies and planes, codebreakers, translators, signal units, and artists. Positions went far beyond nursing, typists, and “Rosie the Riveter” (check the connection to Pittsburgh & Westinghouse to that!) An important chronicle of their stories, especially since the number of survivors is dwindling.

Author Lena Andrews has a very impressive resume!
Highly sourced!
Thank you for the organization chart at the beginning.
I referred to it often, especially at the beginning.
I loved the methods of faking height, weight, age requirements!
Love US history! Even better if it’s something I can go see when traveling!
Don’t miss the WWII Museum in NOLA. If you are interested in history, it’s a must-see!
This book is NOT historical fiction. This non-fiction book is a definite for anyone thirsty for knowledge.
Although I had read bits & pieces previously (especially concerning the men), much of the women’s role was unknown to me.
Liked the focus on & inclusion of so many women & their stories in each chapter.
Don’t skip the epilogue! What a tribute!
To Lena Andrews— Yes, it’s an inspiring story!
