This book is a true account of the experiences of the women of WWII. Women of this time were not allowed to be in the areas of combat, the women journalist of this time went to extreme measures to ensure that they could get as close to the action as possible. 127 women obtained accreditation in order to be WWII correspondents. The book has pictures of a lot the women who risked their lives all to get the most accurate story and to get have the right to be in same line of fire as the male journalist at this time. One story I ran across was that of Elizabeth Phillips the only African American woman to gain accreditation during this war. This book is paying homage to those women who risked life and limb in order to achieve a higher purpose and gain rights for all those women to come that will soon follow in their giant footsteps. I would recommend this book to adolescents grades 6-12 because it gives a voice to the women who for so long, did not have the right to one of their own ( )

Penny Coleman's book is an excellent overview of the role women played as war correspondents during WWII. As in much history, the role of the women correspondents is often overlooked, but Coleman makes sure to let readers know that women did their jobs as often as they were allowed, and a number of them broke some of the biggest stories of the war. Like many women of the time, these correspondents were expected to give up their jobs when the war was over, but they fought back, and many of the women featured in the book continued their careers for many years. Coleman has written a number of other books about women and their place in American history, and I would be interested to read more from her. ( )
