Glory in Their Spirit by Sandra M. Bolzenius
I know very little about the women who served during World War II and this year I am working on changing that. 
This book is a real eye-opener to the inequality and how unprepared the army was for women and especially women of color. 6,500 black women enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) and served during the war, yet the army seemed to have no real idea how to best utilize them. This is why four women stood up for themselves and asked to be treated fairly and to be given the proper training they were told they would receive to provide medical care to injured soldiers. Instead, they had to fight for every little thing and were ignored until they started to rebel. 
Overall I enjoyed learning from this nonfiction book. It is a great overview of the entire trials, and what led up to them, and the aftermath of them. The women were able to change little things within the army, but outside the army they got people to pay attention to the unfair treatment that they were receiving. 
I think this was a good place to start for learning about women in the army and I’m going to try and find several of the books mentioned in the back to learn more.
