This book gives full meaning of this quote: After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.
Here is a terrific excerpt:

Upon hearing of the attack and rescue, Colonel (Oveta Culp) Hobby traveled to Daytona Beach to talk to the troops preparing to leave. After telling her soldiers about the incident, she reminded them they lacked military status and its protection; therefore, she would not order anyone to go against her will. Then in a speech spectators said was reminiscent of William B. Travis's at the Alamo, Colonel Hobby asked for volunteers. Of the 300 women in the room, 298 stepped forward instantly. Moved by the action of her troops, Colonel Hobby was unable to continue and retreated to a broom closet for a few moments of privacy. Later, she learned the other two did not step forward only because they had invalid parents.
