A Woman’s War, Too: Women at Work During World War II – Book Discussion (Via Zoom)

$12 preregistered/prepaid.

Registration Deadline: January 21 (A link will be sent to you on January 22)

World War II was a total war, devouring the military and civilian resources of nations. Women in Minnesota, like women across the country, made valiant, unconventional but significant and critical contributions to the effort. They enlisted in all branches of the military and some worked for the military as civilians. They labored in factories, mines, and shipyards. They were tireless peace activists and they worked to relocate Japanese-American citizens and European refugees. They served as cryptologists, journalists, pilots, factory workers, nurses, and spies, yet little is written of their gifts in the world arena. History was blank.

Author, Virginia M. Wright Peterson has been committed to collecting, preserving, and sharing the women’s stories often missing in published histories, including daily news. Hear Ms. Peterson’s insights and her discovered and recovered stories now given the light of day!
