March is Women’s History Month. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the forgotten heroes of the Vietnam War- the women veterans. Approximately 10,000 women served in Vietnam as nurses, medical personnel, and military intelligence in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Award-winning author Kristin Hannah‘s newest historical fiction, The Women, sheds light on the untold stories of these brave women. With a personal connection to this time in history, Kristin’s writing portrays notable moments from a woman’s point of view. Her previous works, including The Nightingale and Firefly Lane, have been widely acclaimed and adapted into major productions. Warner Bros has pre-bought The Women, and we can’t wait to see this incredible story come to life.
