Women of World War 2 [videorecording] : the untold stories / produced by Burst Films LLC ; producer/director/writer Eli Brown ; producer/writer Michelle Bowen-Ziecheck.
"American women were the secret weapon that won World War II, and in the process, changed the world. In this new documentary, hear directly from the women who built the planes and flew them, fought on the warfront and the home front, cracked codes and broke barriers. History comes alive in the film with newly-rediscovered interviews and archival materials: from the WASPs who risked their lives flying planes for target practice to the Japanese American women who braved incarceration camps; from America's most decorated female spy to the African American 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion that secured victory over the Axis and battled Jim Crow." --container.
