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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Women $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x War work $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z Minnesota $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Minnesota. 651 0 $a United States $x Armed Forces $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $z Minnesota $v Biography. 650 7 $a Armed Forces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814586 650 7 $a War work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355300 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women $x Employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176715 651 7 $a Minnesota. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204560 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011639.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20220806010621.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE962D92D7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
