The War Librarian

Shining light upon the work of the original war librarians, Addison Armstrong not only offers a tribute to the power of books and libraries, but also manifests the unconventional lives of two women separated by fifty years, a grandmother and a granddaughter, both determined to defy society's limitations and forge futures that break the mold. Emmaline and Kathleen stand as worthy testimony to all the women who have blazed trails where none existed before. -Lisa Wingate, author of Before We Were Yours and The Book of Lost Friends The War Librarian is a compelling and inspiring tribute to the courageous, groundbreaking women who risked their lives to pursue their heart's desire even when-especially when-their ambitions led them into places where women were at best unexpected, and at worst, fiercely opposed. -Jennifer Chiaverini, author of The Women's March The War Librarian shines a light on the courage and tenacity of women who blazed trails through male-dominated territory for future generations to follow. A vividly told story of female empowerment with humanity and heart. -Christine Wells, author of Sisters of the Resistance The War Librarian is an empowering tale of sisterhood and sacrifice, reminding us of the importance of standing up for what is right in the world-even in the face of war and great peril. Timely and enlightening! -Sara Ackerman, author of Radar Girls
