Making Waves

Making Waves
By Evan Bachner
Hardcover, 160 pages ($35)

This collection of images from the National Archives, many never previously published, sheds fascinating light on a little-recognized facet of America's war effort—women who served as WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service) for the U.S. Navy during World War II. At work, rest and play in these 150 large-format duotone photos, these gung-ho gals remind us of the tremendous, often unsung contributions made by Americans from all walks of life who answer when their country calls.
—Neil Pond, American Profile
