Gr 4–7—Clear prose and coherent and thoughtful story lines written from a feminist perspective describe women's contribution to war efforts and explain how military service became one of the foundations of the modern women's movement. Women in Combat is a general history of U.S. women at war from the Revolution to the present; the remaining titles are focused on the Second World War. All describe how women sought to be part of war efforts; the dangers, discrimination, and lack of recognition that service pioneers faced; and their brave and resolute determination to overcome all obstacles they encountered. Well-chosen period photos of the women who served are a plus, as are the sidebars and maps. These topics are often overlooked for this audience, especially those of Soviet Night Witches.
VERDICT A first purchase for middle school libraries.
