Women in wars, by Pauline.

Women played importantparts during WW1 and WW2. Many of them became nurses to look after the soldiers who were wounded.

They also had to do the hard works on the farms while their husbands or their fathers were at war.

Many women developed a lot of skills in mechanics . Others acted in secret to give information to the soldiers and becames spies. Others helped to hide Jewish children from the nazis...

They are just a model for us.
