- Description
- Before World War II most Americans did not believe that the average woman could fly professionally, but during the war more than a thousand women pilots proved them wrong. These were the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), who served as military flyers on the home front. In March 1944 one of them, Ann Baumgartner, was assigned to the Fighter Flight Test Branch at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. She would make history as the only woman to test-fly experimental planes during the war and the first woman to fly a jet. .This book is the first-person story of how Baumgartner learned to fly, trained as a WASP, and became one of the earliest jet-age pioneers. She was the first woman to participate in a host of experiments, including in-air refueling and flying the first fighter equipped with a pressurized cockpit. In evaluating the long-awaited turbojet-powered Bell YP-59A, she set a “first” record that would remain unchallenged for ten years.

- Description
- Presents the history of female combat soldiers in the Soviet army from the 1930’s to 1945 and makes feminist analysis of it. Argues that women who volunteered for the front in 1941 saw the fighting as an expression of a new Soviet womanhood rather than enactment of male roles. Notes that the figure of the female combatant in a mass army invites scholars to consider combat violence as a meaning-carrying social activity and the role it plays in the construction of modern identity.

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.
