The American Civil War (1861-1865) remains the most talked about era in our history. Monuments to that war’s heroes are still part of the conversation.
Early in the 1940s there were women in America who recognized the need for idle hands to get to work. It was not a new idea, but when FDR signed the bill that made the W.A.A.C. into the W.A.C. it was a new way for women to serve their country. Many joined-up and helped win the war.
