Texas Women in World War II

Violet Crown Award Finalist for Nonfiction

Women are all too easily forgotten when it comes to war. In her book, author Cindy Weigand profiles 27 women who served in the military during World War II. Over 70 photos scattered throughout the text help tell the stories of the WACs, WAVES, SPARS, Marines, WASP, Army and Navy nurses, and the American Red Cross-all determined to serve their country. Delightful, sad and inspiring, the accounts reveal women determined not only to serve their country, but to live life for all it was worth.
