Book Review

Our Mothers' War: American Women at Home and at the Front during World War II. By Emily Yellin. (New York: Free Press, 2004. xiv, 447 pp. $26.00, ISBN 0-7432-4514-8.)

Over the past quarter of a century many important and highly acclaimed books about American women and World War II have been published. Works by Karen Anderson, D'Ann Campbell, Susan Hartmann, Sherna Berger Gluck, Judy Barrett Litoff, Martha S. Putney, Susan Godson, Paula Nassen Poulos, Jeanne M. Holm, and many others have greatly expanded our knowledge of women's experiences during World War II. These scholars have also devoted countless hours to speaking to wartime veteran groups, conducting radio, television, and print media interviews, and serving as historical consultants for award-winning documentary films about wartime America. They have worked with oral history and letter-writing projects and promoted the publication of women's memoirs, diaries, and letters. Largely because of these efforts, America's wartime women have now been granted a significant voice, and standard accounts of twentieth-century United States history regularly include information about the multiplicity of experiences of civilian and military women during World War II.
