Description
Charity Adams Earley's memoir is a powerful account of her experiences as the first black woman commissioned as an officer in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps during World War II. With unflinching candor, she recounts her struggles and successes, including her leadership of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, which broke records for redirecting military mail and stood up to racism in the segregated military. Earley's story is a testament to the courage and determination of the women who paved the way for future generations to serve their country. This book is a tribute to those women, who faced prejudice and adversity with strength and resilience. A fascinating and important historical account, it sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history and the role of African American women in the war effort.
