They Also Served

About the Book

They Also Served is a collection of memories, bringing to life the experiences of women during World War II. None of the women profiled achieved great renown—these were the neighbors next door, the townspeople encountered at the post office or market, the ladies sharing the pews at worship services.

Unwilling to be mere bystanders to the war effort, they did their parts in every way imaginable—and some not so easily imagined. Laughter, shock, joy, tears, and outrage are shared in recollections of women from all walks of life. Traditional and daring, they kept the home fires burning and joined the fight. They waited for their men and made lasting changes for women.

Visits to various historical military sites in Europe and Asia have increased her knowledge of the subject. Jeanie is a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas, and is previously published in women’s fiction. Now widowed, with adult children and young grandchildren, she resides in Addison, Texas.
