DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lena Andrews from the University of Maryland will speak at 
 the MIT Security Studies Program's Wednesday Seminar.\n\nSummary/Abstract:
 \nLena will discuss her recent book\, Valiant Women\, which tells the stor
 y of the 350\,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II
  and whose work\, both individually and in total\, was at the heart of the
  Allied strategy that won World War II. While these stories have tradition
 ally been relegated to the dusty shelves of military archives or a passing
  mention in the local paper\, Valiant Women corrects the record with the d
 efinitive and comprehensive historical account of American servicewomen du
 ring World War II. Using new archival research\, firsthand interviews with
  surviving veterans\, and a deep professional understanding of military hi
 story and strategy\, Lena argues that fully understanding this war require
 s that we understand the contribution of these women.
