Women of the Homefront: World War II Recollections of 55 Americans
When you gather 55 essays on any subject, a certain proportion of them are bound to be duds. Thankfully this collection keeps that percentage to a minimum. I was enthralled by the stories these women told - most of them weren't exciting or the stuff of legend, but they were real women that I could identify. I also like that Ms. Parker broadly defined "Americans" - there are essays by women who emigrated to the States after the war, and so readers get to see a touch of the European and Pacific experience as well.
