The Things Our Fathers Saw Vol. IX: Homefront/Women At War
In the latest installment of The Things Our Fathers Saw® series, ‘Homefront/Women At War’, explore the untold stories of those who lived through World War II beyond the battlefield. This volume takes you to the heart of the homefront, where everyday people faced extraordinary challenges that forever changed society.
Step into the lives of schoolchildren growing up during the Great Depression and WWII, women breaking barriers on factory floors and in the armed forces, and newly independent women fighting for their rights—and later, their jobs—while planting the seeds of future societal change. Hear the heartfelt stories of war brides crossing the Atlantic to start new lives with their GIs, and the struggles they faced adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings.
Finally, meet the displaced children of WWII, whose worlds were torn apart by totalitarian regimes. Through unimaginable suffering, their resilience and gratitude shine, as they share their powerful stories with young Americans who took the time to listen.
This volume isn’t just history—it’s humanity. Don’t miss these voices that bring the past to life in ways that still resonate today.
