The Gaylord WACS by Harriet Green Robinson

This book follows Harriet Green as she joins the WACS and goes through WWII.

This book read like a personal note that Harriet Green might have written to you the reader.  She shows the frustration of wanting to make a difference and being thwarted by her gender.   She ends up successfully going overseas and feeling like she might have made a difference.   Green shows the disparities between the way men and women were treated by the armed services.   The inclusion as a roommate of a WAC of color as Green mustered out was pointed to a positive change.

Things like the reaction she and her peers had with the death of Roosevelt were new to me.  I was unaware of that veneration.  Green demonstrated the resiliency and the ambition of women who were not willing to settle with staying in their “place”. 

I enjoyed the book.
