Just in time for Memorial Day, Jennie and Dianne are honored to be joined in this episode by Major General Mari K. Eder (U.S. Army, Retired) to discuss her amazing book, 'The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line'. These Ordinary Extraordinary women are "heroes of the Greatest Generation whom you have most likely never heard about. These extraordinary women didn't expect thanks and shied away from medals and recognition. Despite their amazing accomplishments, they've gone mostly unheralded and unrewarded. These are the women of World War II who served, fought, struggled, and made things happen-in and out of uniform." In this episode Mari shares how she came to write the book and shares additional stories that she learned of after publication. Join us for the stories of these truly notable women who changed the course of history as we honor them and so many others this Memorial Day.
