Why read it?

1 author picked A Woman's War Too as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This collection of wide-ranging essays, both from women who served in WWII and from historians who have studied them, is a great place to start. It sorts out WACS from WAVES, covers cryptographers and nurses, considers racism and the political rebound of women in the military. The editors also included a useful guide to first-person material in the National Archives as well as a directory to archival collections held around the country.

From Ellen's list on or by women on women in WWII.
