Women in WWII

Kara Fossey, Executive Director of the Fort Devens Museum and the Groton History Center will present an illustrated program about the various roles American Women played during World War II: military, civilian, and volunteer. WWII has been known as a time of liberation for women, and on the heels of the 100th anniversary of the culmination of the Suffrage Movement, it is a perfect time to remember both the struggles and victories that women faced after 1919. Special emphasis on Fort Devens and women from Massachusetts.
