Book is divided into four chapters: New York women who served in the military up through 1940; those who served during World War II; servicewomen during the Korea and Vietnam era; and those who served post the integration of women's components into the overall services. Individuals discussed include Dr. Mary Walker, Spanish American War nurse Kittie Louise Whiting Doxie, Army Nurse Corinne Alton Gillick, and a large number of World War II women. Other interesting items include three Native show more American military women, a special segment on WAC Director Emily Gorman, and Army Nurse Lorena M. Goodell, who served in World War II and then in Japan during the Korean War. The last two chapters are very short, but include interesting little press clips about New York women who served during the late 1950s, 60s and 70s. show less
