Title: THE HELLO
GIRLS
Author: Elizabeth Cobbs
Genre: nonfiction
Summary: Story of how America's first women
soldiers helped win WWI, earned the vote & fought the army for
veteran's recognition. In 1918, the U. S. Army Signal Corps sent 223
women to France. They operated telephone switchboards which provided
the only communication between troops under fire and commanders.
Rating: Very good
Why I Like It: A
little slow at first, but well worth reading. A lot of interesting
background info that I wasn't aware of or had forgotten. Also,
amazing to think that 100 years ago at this time Grandpa Dunipace was
serving in this situation in France.

Finished this book Aug 2019. Started reading it a year or two ago. I lost interest & quit reading it about a third way through. Recently listened to it on audio. What a difference!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is very interesting & an excellent book! As Kathy said, I pictured Grandpa being there during the war. Learned tons!
