They quickly discovered that they faced as many obstacles in the armed forces as they did in everyday life. However, they refused to back down.

They survived racial prejudice and discrimination with dignity, succeeded in jobs women had never worked before, and made crucial contributions to the military war effort.

Along with Adams's story are those of other black women who played a crucial role in integrating the armed forces"--Provided by publisher.
