The REAL Women: Veterans of Vietnam

Inspired by best-selling author Kristin Hannah's historical novel, The Women, award-winning journalist Nancy E. Lynch presents The REAL women:  Veterans of Vietnam.  

Lynch will share war letters from Delaware nurses and a Delaware Donut Dolly she received from the combat zone and published in her popular News Journal column, Nancy's Vietnam Mailbag, from 1968 to 1972.  She compares their experiences to those of Hannah's fictional army nurse, Frankie McGrath, a privileged Californian who served two tours in Vietnam after losing her only brother in battle. 

Lynch's presentation is underwritten by a grant from Delaware Humanites.
