Excelent photograps and clear concise writing do not save this book form its flaws. The photographs and the writing when placed together on the same page often leave the reader confused as to which woman the writer is currently referring. The great depression era photo of the migrant mother with her children is along the early informtion about a different photographer. Also, the book is written, not based on each female subject, but chronologically, based on the events that lead up to the war and thrown in are small sections on the beginnings of each woman's individual career. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The specialized book focuses on the women's stories, rather than on the stories the women wrote. This also surprised me. I expected a text-heavy collection of news articles, but I found very few. I did find pages rich in anecdotes and photographs that illustrated life for women tasked with bringing the war the American newsstands, diners, and living rooms.
As a historian, as I encountered vignettes, factoids, and stories, I periodically often referred to the bibliography, which contains roughly 80 researched sources, ranging from periodicals to biographies. This, of course, satisfied a bit of my curiosity on the matter. So, I researched the author, Catherine Gourley, whose list of awards includes those from NCSS amongst others.
My only knock on the book is a lack of newspaper articles. I would have liked to read more works by the women covered in the book. ( )
