I finished Valiant Women: The Extraordinary American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II by Lena S. Andrews. It's a good read, with just enough statistics to drive home the all-encompassing effort that was WWII. For me, it was a good reminder that, although in some ways I have been a trailblazer for women in my own field, I still stand on the shoulders of these women who went before me.
My next book to finish is a re-read for me: This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War by Drew Gilpin Faust. There's a new Foreword by the author, reflecting on the deaths caused by COVID, which made the book feel more relevant than the first time I read it.
