<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"[This book tells about how] many women in the U.S. played a pivotal role in the war effort and entered the work force to fill the spots left vacant by the men at war"--Amazon.com.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Waging war involves more than just the soldiers on the front line, it take an entire nation. Many women in the U.S. played a pivotal role in the war effort and entered the work force to fill the spots left vacant by the men at war. Rosie the Riveter became a rallying cry for women starting in World War II and continues on to this day.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Clear prose and coherent and thoughtful story lines written from a feminist perspective describe women's contribution to war efforts and explain how military service became one of the foundations of the modern women's movement. . . .Well-chosen period photos of the women who served are a plus, as are the sidebars and maps. These topics are often overlooked for this audience, especially those of Soviet Night Witches. A first purchase for middle school libraries.-- "School Library Journal"<br>
