A Woman’s War, Too: Women at Work During World War II (Online; Partner Event)
March 24 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
Free
Hosted by the Assisi Heights Spirituality Center of the Sisters of Saint Francis (Rochester, MN), Sponsored by Women in Church & Society
Discover the powerful and often overlooked stories of Minnesota women whose courage and skill shaped the World War II era. Author Virginia Wright-Peterson will guide us through the rich history behind her book A Woman’s War, Too, highlighting how women stepped into roles as nurses, journalists, pilots, factory workers, cryptologists, and peace activists. Through vivid personal accounts—from Pearl harbor to the aftermath of the atomic bomb—we’ll explore how women transformed both the home front and the global war effort.
Join us for an engaging evening that honors resilience, service, and the lasting impact of women whose contributions defined a generation.
