The Skirt and Stocking Clad Soldier: Women Join the Military in WWII
Women joined the military in World War II. This program discusses the first women in the military and their civilian defense worker counterparts. They worked in motor pools, staffed offices, nursed the injured, lived-in barracks, ate in mess halls, went to war zones and died for their country.
Presented by Mary Rasa, who is a native of New Jersey where she was museum curator/park ranger for the National Park Service at Sandy Hook. In addition to being a school librarian in Maryland, Mary currently runs her own business writing exhibits, brochures and grants as well as conducting history talks for non-profits.
