When Our Mothers Went to War by Margaret Regis

Young women. Wives. Mothers. In World War II, they piloted planes. They cared for the wounded. They traveled on five continents to report on the war or serve in the military. They were spies, resistance fighters, civilian prisoners in the jungle with children. They built Liberty ships. The salvaged scrap metal and tended victory gardens. They mastered jobs of every kind and held the nation together. This is the story of when our mothers went to war.
