Home Front Heroes: How Women & Children Helped Win WWII

Description

M.T. Publishing Company, Inc., is excited to bring you this new publication by local author, Dona Bone. Dona retired from Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2015, and has become actively involved in the Evansville Wartime Museum, speaking throughout the Tri-State about Evansville’s involvement in WWII. This book focuses on the impact women and children had during WWII. Jobs were vacated by men going off to war. Women filled these jobs and also new ones that were created by products that were now in demand by the military. Evansville had the highest percentage increase in population in the U.S. in 1942. Both women and children were hard at work on the home front doing whatever they could to help win the war.

This 9” x 12” coffee-table edition has a full-color, hardbound cover and contains hundreds of photographs and historical highlights that illustrates the involvement of women and children during WWII, within 144 pages.
