| Sumario: | "During World War II, women in Minnesota-like women across the country-made bold, unconventional, and important contributions to the war effort. They enlisted in all branches of the military and worked for the military as civilians. They labored in factories, mines, and shipyards. They were also tireless peace activists, and they worked to relocate interned Japanese American citizens and European refugees. They served as cryptologists, journalists, pilots, riveters, factory workers, nurses, entertainers, and spies. This rich chronological account relates dramatic stories of women discovering their own potential in a time of national need, surprising themselves and others-and setting the roots of second-wave feminism."-- |
