True Stories of 5 Incredible Women Who Pushed the Boundaries of Women’s Roles in War
So often, women are ignored in military chronicles, especially those that took place during war where women were barred from participating in military occupations outside of office work and nursing. Herein lies the stories of women who pushed through these stereotypical roles and ended up being taken captive by the enemy.
We remember war heroes as men completing great feats of strength on the battlefield, saving the lives of their fellow soldiers. There have been multiple books, films, and articles written about soldiers during WWII. Some are fictional, while some are based on true stories. We are not at any loss for the stories of the trials that men faced during the Second World War.
The stories that are all too often forgotten are those of the women.
Within the pages of this book, you will learn the stories of five incredible women prisoners of war during World War Two. These women not only risked their lives in the line of duty, just as their male counterparts did, but they also faced horrific atrocities and risks directly tied to their gender.
You will question ” What makes a war hero?” Were each of these women true war heroines?
You will learn about:
A flight nurse whose plane was shot down over enemy lines only to completely confuse the German Army as to what to do with a female
A woman with unflinching determination helped make a difference to help her people while in the Philippine resistance
The sole survivor of a mass murder of nurses only to have her own government silence her from telling her story
A feminist and political activist working to stop fascism and educate her fellow women, even while inside a concentration camp
A nurse who simply wanted to return to her post regardless of the torture she endured
It is our duty to remember these women and honor them as the true heroines they were.
