Women Heroes of the US Army

Though early laws prohibited women from becoming soldiers, many women still found ways to serve, even disguising themselves as men to participate in active battle. Margaret Cochran Corbin joined the continental Army cannon crew after her husband was killed during the Civil War, disguised as "William Cathay." And Charity Adams Earley commanded the first African American battalion of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in Europe during World War II.

Desi primele legi interziceau femeilor sa devina soldati, multe femei gaseau inca modalitati de a sluji, chiar deghizandu-se in barbati pentru a participa la lupte active. Margaret Cochran Corbin s-a alaturat echipajului tunului armatei continentale dupa ce sotul ei a fost ucis in timpul razboiului civil, deghizat in „William Cathay”. Si Caritatea Adams Earley a comandat primul batalion afro-american al Corpului auxiliar al armatei femeilor din Europa in timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial. Femeile Eroi ale Armatei SUA relateaza rolul critic pe care l-au jucat femeile in intarirea Armatei SUA de la nasterea natiunii pana astazi.
