- Description
- In this chronological book the author tries to reframe the understanding of the war through the specific and powerful stories of individual women. It was their war, too. Women in Minnesota enlisted in all branches of the military and worked for the military as civilians during World War II. 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.

- Description
- More than 800,000 Soviet women fought against Hitler's onslaught during the 'Great Patriotic War,' 1941-45. Female participation in military conflict on such a scale is historically unique. This is the first comprehensive study of the hitherto largely hidden history of the crucial role women played in the defeat of fascism on the Eastern Front.
