Denison, Texas -- Over 350,000 American women served in uniform during World War II. They were pilots, codebreakers, ordnance experts, gunnery instructors, translators, parachute riggers, truck drivers, pigeon trainers, and much more! Join us as we learn more about the diverse contributions of American servicewomen during World War II.

Discussions will be led by Hayley Hasik, military historian and educator at the Eisenhower Birthplace. Join us as we delve into some of the individual and lesser-known histories of World War II. Hayley will provide historical context and facilitate discussion each month. We encourage you to read the book before the meeting, but you are more than welcome to job us if you only read some of the book or just want to learn more about the topic. There are copies available for checkout at the Denison Public Library.
