Women of WWII: On the Front Lines & the Home Front

Explore the roles of women during World War II with award-winning author Barb Warner Deane at Seymour Library. Beyond Rosie the Riveter and the Atomic Girls, women made incredible contributions to the war effort.

One of the civilian avenues was through the American Red Cross Clubmobile program, which was essentially a mobile club, featuring doughnuts, coffee, and good old American girl-next-door friendliness, all served up at the front lines in Europe, Southeast Asia, India, and Australia – wherever the troops were to be found. Learn more about the Clubmobile program and all the ways in which American women helped win the war! 

Barb Warner Deane is the author of four published novels, including On The Homefront and The Whistle Stop Canteen. Learn more about her work at: www.barbwarnerdeane.com.
