The Atlantic has an excellent article just published about the WASPs, a crew of women pilots who played a vital role in WWII, only to have their work hushed up because, "well, you know, they were just women."
Gift article. Read it.

I learned about the WASPs a year ago by reading Fannie Flagg's novel "The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion," which tells their story. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-all-girl-filling-station-s-last-reunion-fannie-flagg/7cdce768295923b2?ean=9780812977172&next=t&next=t&affiliate=105133
