Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-03 00:00:00 Gregory Shrock 55 American women from all walks of life share their WW II homefront stories. I enjoyed reading their first person accounts. This is going on the shelves in my classroom!

Review # 2 was written on 2008-10-01 00:00:00 Francisco Garcia 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.
