Our Mother's War is an eye-opening and moving portrait of women during World War II, a war that forever transformed the way women participated in American society. Never before has the vast range of women's experiences during this pivotal era been brought together in one book.
Now, Our Mother's War re-creates what American women from all walks of life were doing and thinking, on the home front and abroad. These heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking accounts of the women we have known as mothers, aunts, and grandmothers reveal facets of their lives that have usually remained unmentioned and under appreciated.
