By Doris Weatherford

"American Women" focuses on the true story of WWII-era women who undertook a wide range of responsibilities and duties during the war to include: nurses treating wounded soldiers around the world, women of the Armed Forces, women of industry, and women in the Home front.

This book is an overview of the diverse roles adopted by women during World War II. The details of this book are thoroughly documented with news reports, magazine articles, and personal diaries from the time, about the experiences of typical 1940's American women.

These American women with their hard work and can-do spirit shaped the war effort, their determination helped inspire a generation of wome, and their story is brought to life in this book through reference to quotations from contemporary sources and documented with over 80 black-and-white photographs.
