520 Allow all black nurses to enlist, and the draft won't be
necessary ... If nurses are needed so desperately, why
isn't the Army using colored nurses: My arm gets a little
sore slinging a shovel or a pick, but then I forget about
it when I think about all those boys over in the Solomons.
Victory tells the stories of African American women who
did extraordinary things to help their country during
World War II. In these pages young readers meet a range of
remarkable women: war workers, political activists,
military women, volunteers, and entertainers. Some, such
as Mary McLeod Bethune and Lena Horne, were celebrated in
their lifetimes and are well known today. But many others
fought discrimination at home and abroad in order to
contribute to the war effort yet were overlooked during
those years and forgotten by later generations. Double
Victory recovers the stories of these courageous women,
such as Hazel Dixon Payne, the only woman to serve on the
remote Alaska-Canadian Highway; Deverne Calloway, a Red
Cross worker who led a protest at an army base in India;
and Betty Murphy Phillips, the only black female overseas
war correspondent. Offering a new and diverse perspective
on the war and including source notes and a bibliography,
Double Victory is an invaluable addition to any student's
or history buff's bookshelf.
520 An account of the lesser-known contributions of African-
American women during World War II reveals how they helped
lay the foundations for the Civil Rights Movement by
challenging racial and gender barriers at home and abroad.
