Publisher's Summary:

From the dawn of time, women have been perceived as the caretakers, as nurturers and as mothers. They are seen as delicate creatures, to be protected and taken care of. Many a time, this argument has served more than one chauvinist who sought to keep the woman bound to his wishes, unable to do anything beyond the quintessential cooking and cleaning and rearing of the children.

Yet, given the chance, women have proven themselves time and time again, going above and beyond the call of duty. For all that they are perceived to be the physically weaker of the two accepted sexes, it is the female who carries a full human being within her.

Both the world wars left an indelible mark on the earth; the face of humanity was forever altered, both during and in the aftermath. Millions lost their lives, and rebuilding was an effort that took decades.

There were a number of women who became spies, particularly during the Second World War, sneaking behind enemy lines to gather information and performing other duties to help win the war.

These are unsung heroes, often forgotten in the face of their more famous, "stronger" male counterparts.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn....

The History of Brave Women in Combat in World War Two!!!

This book recounts the history who served in combat during World War Two (WW II). This is a not well known aspect of WW II history of great interest to me and a subject that needs to be known by many American readers! Human history provides many accunts of women who activly padrticipated in warfare. Western Culture however, dominated by the Christian Dogma of otiginal sin and hiererarical notions of a male dominate society has traditionally cast women in the role of the weaker sex and nurturer, with a life focused on child birthing and rearing, maintenance of the home and religious obligation This book chronicles the stories of four women who actively fought a combatants' role during WW 2, Andree Borrel, Nancy Wake, Violette Reine Szabo, and Lise de Baissa, each put their lives on the line for their countries.The author's descriptions of their bravery and sacrifices rival those of any male! Their stories should be known and appreciated by all!

Good Introduction to Women's contributions to WW2.

I found Cyrus Zachary's books on Amazon and bought two for my teenage granddaughter. She is very interested in WW2. These books are great introductions to the topic of women's leadership. My aunt, Violet Kochendoerfer, created and ran three different American Red Cross Allied social clubs (in England, France and Germany) and wrote an autobiography about the experience, called "One Woman's WW 2" That book is now in my granddaughter's hands as well.

WWII women True Stories

For a short book it packed a lot of information. These women were truly heroes and some made the ultimate sacrifice. This book is just the tip of the iceberg regarding women in WWII. However what was written was good and it brought to attention these women's stories. Hopefully more will be written about other women in WWII. Great book.

Short but well researched

Very short book, but quite well researched and full of interesting information.
