JILL OF ALL TRADES
THE MANY ROLES OF WOMEN IN WORLD WAR II"Rosie the Riveter" was not the only persona of women contributing to the war effort from 1939-1945. Women piloted aircraft, drove ambulances, operated radios, treated wounded, entertained the troops, defended against air attacks, took up arms as guerrillas, and even served in combat when their countries were invaded. Original photos and drawings depict the many vital roles women played on the Home Front, in Europe, and in the Pacific Theater to achieve victory over the Axis.
