Synopsis

Find out the important role women played, both on the home front and overseas. From building war planes to sending home news from overseas, from nursing the injured to training men the skills they’d need as soldiers, the war could not have been won without the help of women. Read about how the attitudes towards women began to change during the war. Each book in the 'American History Through Primary Sources' series delivers curriculum content by way of primary source material. Background knowledge of the subject matter is incorporated into the text. The books use clear, predictable text structures and have been leveled by a literacy expert to ensure accessibility. Vocabulary is defined at the point of use.
