W25-32 Women of World War II NEW
Class | Registration closed 12/15/2024
For America to achieve victory in World War II, every citizen was needed. Women who had been relegated to the background, especially during the Depression, came to the forefront: War correspondent. Cartographer. Pilot. More than six million women took wartime jobs in factories, three million volunteered with the Red Cross, and over 200,000 served in the military: Steel mill operator. Railroad mechanic. Gunnery officer. Meet women from all walks of life, from Eleanor Roosevelt to the girl next door, as we explore the diverse ways in which women contributed to success in WWII.
