March is Women’s History Month, which honors and celebrates the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.
A new book by Dr. Sarah Myers, a Missouri State University history alumna, shines a light on the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots or WASPs and their impact during and after World War II.
It’s titled, “Earning Their Wings: The WASPs of World War II and the Fight for Veteran Recognition.”
Myers, who’s also associate professor of history at Messiah University, discusses her first book, which began as a thesis project at MSU.
