Description

A full of life and compelling autobiography of one of the crucial first enlisted Navy WAVES in WWII. From joining the Navy to joining the mile-high club, Helen Gilbert’s life used to be interrupted and perpetually changed by Pearl Harbor, and she describes in very straightforward terms the way it used to be to go into a traditionally male world. After serving her country, she struggled to search out work and gain acceptance as an emancipated woman in a impulsively-changing world – weathering discrimination, marriage, child-rearing, tragedy, infidelity, alcoholism and recovery. Whether recalling the Depression, WWII, or sharing her thoughts at the aftermath of Sept. 11th and the war in Iraq, Helen pulls no punches. A book chock-filled with eyebrow-raising anecdotes and life-affirming stories.
