My husband and I had both read "The Girls of Atomic City" and really loved it. So when we found this book both he and I were excited to start reading it. I was still in the Lunar Chronicles so he read it before me and loved it. I wasn't really in the mood for non-fiction when I started this book but I was almost instantly sucked into it. It has been so excited learning about all the various jobs and ways that woman helped during WWII. Whenever I thought of woman during the war. I always thought of the "Rosie the riveter" woman as well as the girls who took over playing baseball to help entertain. Yes this was due to the movie "A League of their Own". But that was it. I guess that means that the classified and top secret information was never truly leaked. Until the government released certain information that got authors like Liza Mundy interested in finding out more. I am ever so glad they did too. This book was fascinating and has me wondering what other top secret or classified projects did woman do during the war.
An Amazing book!!! A must read for any non-fiction fan or historian.
