Thur, Sept 23, 2-3:30 pm, Ogden Fellowship Hall

Susan Boone will review The Hello Girls: America's First Women Soldiers by Elizabeth Cobbs.

In 1918 the U.S. Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France to help win World War I. Elizabeth Cobbs reveals the challenges these patriotic young women faced in a war zone where male soldiers resented, wooed, mocked, saluted, and ultimately celebrated them. Back on the home front, they fought the army for veterans’ benefits and medals, and won.

There is no charge and all are welcome!
