A Mighty Girl: Telling Her Story: 40 Books for Adult Readers About Women Heroes of WWII

"Women have always served their countries in many ways during wartime, but the sheer scope of World War II demanded more of them than ever — and they answered the call. Around the world, women served as military nurses, pilots, resistance fighters, codebreakers, spies, and in other roles. For decades, their stories were little known. In some cases, their work was left out of histories because society did not recognize that women could be veterans, and that an Army nurse or a WASP pilot or an SOE spy deserved just as much celebration for her heroism as any soldier. To give these heroic women the recognition they deserve, we're sharing books for adult readers that bring these untold stories of women's courage and patriotism to light!" ~A Mighty Girl
