When the United States entered World War II, it had to face its own
contradictions at home. Opportunities opened up for Black people and
women in support of the war effort. But ideas about race and gender
didn't change as swiftly. Read the story of the first all-Black
battalion in the Women's Army Corps--the Six Triple Eight--and its
leader, Major Charity Adams. These women bravely confronted the racism
and sexism they experienced. And they did it while creating a system to
make sure millions of letters and packages got to soldiers fighting in
Europe. From the Women Warriors of World War II graphic novel series,
this inspiring story will introduce readers to heroes who were
victorious in more ways than one.
