- Valiant women : the extraordinary American servicewomen who helped win World War II / by Andrews, Lena S.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.This "is the story of the 350,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II. These incredible women served in every combat theater, and in nearly two-thirds of the available military occupations at the time.

Often the women themselves kept their stories private, even from their own families. Now, military analyst Lena Andrews corrects the record with [an] ... historical account of American servicewomen during World War II, based on new archival research, firsthand interviews with surviving veterans, and a deep professional understanding of military history and strategy"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Women in combat; Women soldiers; Women; World War, 1939-1945; World War, 1939-1945; World War, 1939-1945;
