Women Who Fought In World War II


What really kills me about this photo, of firefighters at Pearl Harbor? The lovely woman who is second from the left? Likely ended up illegally detained in an interment camp months after this photo was taken.

Ever read Susan Faludi's "The Terror Dream"? It went into detail about this bizarre post-9/11 cultural regression on female soldiers.
