VALIANT WOMEN is the story of the 350,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II. These incredible women served in every service branch, in every combat theater, and in nearly two-thirds of the available military occupations at the time. They were pilots, codebreakers, ordnance experts, gunnery instructors, metalsmiths, chemists, translators, parachute riggers, truck drivers, radarmen, pigeon trainers, and much more.

LENA ANDREWS is the author of Valiant Women: The Extraordinary American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II and an Associate Research Professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy.

SALUTE! Meet British engineer Florence Seaton!

Determined to combine her passion for aviation, sparked through flying with the University Air Squadron, and her love of paragliding with her growing interest in engineering, Florence pursued a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London. There, she carved out her own interdisciplinary space by proposing a project to develop a device enabling women to urinate safely in fast jet aircraft.

FUN FACT: In 2000, women Veterans were just 4% of the Veteran population. But by 2040, they are projected to make up 18% of all Veterans, making them the fastest growing group of Veterans.
