Why read it?
1 author picked The Woman with a Purple Heart as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a compelling and powerful WWII novel that vividly captures the chaos and courage of December 7, 1941, the day the first woman, Lieutenant Annie Fox, was awarded the Purple Heart.
I was particularly moved by how it balanced the heroism of Annie’s relentless dedication in her role as Chief Nurse at Hickam Field with the harsh reality of prejudice that she faced later. Page after page, I was pulled into this gripping read that sheds light on both the valor of these unsung heroes and the darker sides of history.
From Janis' list on historical fiction women who smashed glass ceilings.
