About
Dramatic stories of women discovering their own potential in a time of national need, surprising themselves and others - and setting the roots of second-wave feminism. Minnesota women witnessed the fall of France, the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa and Italy, the Battle of the Bulge, D-Day and the invasion of Normandy, the liberation of France and of the concentration camp at Dachau, and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Join us as we learn about the powerful role that Minnesota women played in the Second World War.
