Debunking common stereotypes, this eye-opening documentary uncovers the truths about the women who served in various ways throughout World War II.
For example, most women did not get their first jobs filling the employment gaps that male soldiers left behind—nearly 50 percent of women had already been part of the workforce for at least five years prior to 1941. The unique, largely untold stories of many heroic women are presented in short segments, including the women who served in the WASPS division of the Air Force, the female computer whizzes of the WWII code-breaking program, and Hedy Lamarr, famous actress and inventor of frequency-hopping communications.
