A.C. Book Talk Series: Patricia Chappine
Author Patricia Chappine will discuss her book "New Jersey Women During World War II: On the Home Front and Abroad" as part of the Atlantic City Book Talk Series.
About the book: During World War II, the need for the women to step into roles long closed off to them set off an unprecedented wave of participation. Women joined the defense industry. They volunteered for the Red Cross and the USO. They joined the military in women's branches of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines and flew as civilian pilots working with the Army Air Forces (AAF). This program will focus on the unique challenges New Jersey women faced as they navigated both the home front and abroad during WWII.
