Summary:
"Double Victory tells the stories of
African
American
women
who did extraordinary things to
help
their country during
World
War
II
. In these pages readers meet a range of remarkable
women
:
war
workers, political activists, military
women
, volunteers, and entertainers. Some, such as Mary McLeod Bethune and Lena Horne, were celebrated in their lifetimes and are well known today. But many others fought discrimination at home and abroad in order to contribute to the
war
effort yet were overlooked during those years and forgotten by later generations. Double Victory recovers the stories of these courageous
women
, such as Hazel Dixon Payne, the only woman to serve on the remote Alaska-Canadian Highway; Deverne Calloway, a Red Cross worker who led a protest at an army base in India; and Betty Murphy Phillips, the only black female overseas
war
correspondent. Offering a new and diverse perspective on the
war
and including source notes and a bibliography, Double Victory is an invaluable addition to any student's or history buff's bookshelf."--From publisher.
