Constance Kopp and her sisters take on the military establishment at a
training camp for women as the U.S. readies for war.
It's the spring of 1917 and change is in the air. American women have
done something remarkable: they've banded together to create
military-style training camps for women who want to serve. These
so-called National Service Schools prove irresistible to the Kopp
sisters, who leave their farm in New Jersey to join up.
When an accident befalls the matron, Constance reluctantly agrees to
oversee the camp--much to the alarm of the Kopps' tent-mate, the
real-life Beulah Binford, who is seeking refuge from her own scandalous
past under the cover of a false identity. Will she be denied a second
chance? And after notoriety, can a woman's life ever be her own again?
In Kopp Sisters on the March, the women of Camp Chevy Chase face down
the skepticism of the War Department, the double standards of a scornful
public, and the very real perils of war. Once again, Amy Stewart has
brilliantly brought a little-known moment in history to light with her
fearless and funny Kopp sisters novels.
