Women Veterans Key Military Roles

Homefront Heroines: The WAVES of World War II tells the story of a group of quirky, independent and determined women who went where no women had gone before: into the Navy as WAVES, or Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. Through a documentary film (six years in the making), this website, a blog and geo-tracking storytelling, this project will reveal a hidden history about a generation who changed the course of American life.
