The three out of these eight women who came to the front and in that Library of Congress Exhibition on Women in World War 2, each one did different things what were so common to each one. But each one did their own thing during the World War 2 and was successful these three did what they can in the war.
Toni Frissell remembered today as principally for high-fashion photography for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, She volunteered her photographic services to the American Red Cross, Women Army Corps, and Eighth Army Air Force during World War 2. She took thousands of pictures of nurses, front-line soldiers, WACs, African-American airmen, and orphaned children.
Therese Bonney a photographer who took picture of images of homeless children and adults on the back roads of Europe touched millions of viewers in the United Stated and abroad. Not content with publishing solely in mass-circulation newspapers and magazines, Bonney sought other opportunities to present her work.
Janet Flanner a master of the printed word, Flanner was less in her element when she crossed the line into broadcast journalism. The need to pursue stories aggressively to justify precious airtime was unsettling to a writer accustomed to mulling over the "big picture." The ten-minute weekly broadcasts from locations throughout Europe filled Flanner with such anxiety that she relinquished her radio assignment with relief at the end of the war.
All these women stood out into the war to overcome the truth and reality of the war. All the women were chosen because of their strength and the variety of collections they provided to the library of congress. Comparing and contrasting them we firstly have Toni Frissell; she was a photographer who provided high-fashioned photographs to the Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. During the world war she provided photography to the American Red Cross, Women

    Annie always concentrated on the U.S. way of life, “photographing icons of various youth cultures & countercultures”. She constantly traveled from city to city to pursue political figures, pop-music stars, and counterculture personalities whose lives affect others. “To get the best picture”, Annie says, “You have to be in the happening.” To get a remarkable, one of a kind picture, you have to get to the heart of the subject and the scene, and that means experiencing what is going on first hand; such as when Annie took photographs of an anti-war protest that ended up making the cover of Rolling Stone. She has a strong need to look, to see, to show, and to know. Her hostility, determination and ability to change help her to take the best pictures. At a young age, Annie’s determination and strong urge to take great photographs was recognized and landed her a job working for…

    The material in this book is very important to my life today. In society women are a major part of life in general and without them acquiring their rights I don’t believe we would’ve been as economically and socially stable as we are today. This book did change my perception of history because before reading it I didn’t realize the hardships and struggles that women went through that mean didn’t in history. Women were outstandingly strong and encouraging throughout history. They were great motivation for anyone growing up today facing adversity.…

    Laurel Thatcher Ulrich claims, “Well-behaved women seldom make history.” By this she means that being ordinary is “well-behaved,” and being obedient does not make changes to anything, but it does pass on tradition of how to behave. Therefore, creating chaos politically draws attention to make it in history. To make a legacy, you must be uniquely different and brave to stand up against the set rules.

    World War II was a time of opportunity for some, none more significant than that of Canadian women. Women were finally given the chance to work in positions once controlled by men, whether it was working on the farmland, in factories building war supplies, driving trucks, buses, taxis and streetcars, or as construction workers. Without the support of Canadian women, the men would have had to do the work at home, which meant there would be fewer soldiers available to fight in Europe and less products being made. Thanks to the hard efforts of Canadian women in the time of war, many felt their presence and appreciated their hard work. Women who worked in this time may have also helped pave the way for other women who have successful careers presently and are so well recognized by many.…

    These women earned their places in history: from which others can learn, give credit, and honor. Their path was not an easy one. Victoria Woodhull, one of my personal heroes, due to her strong beliefs, became the first woman to run for president, yet was nicknamed “the female satan” because of her “radical” beliefs regarding vegetarianism and shorter skirts. Although 2016 marks the closest a woman has gotten to the presidency, Woodhull’s name is rarely, if ever, mentioned. Sybil Ludington is not taught about alongside Paul Revere, the man who famously rode sixteen miles to warn of the British attack by sea when he was forty. Ludington, the daughter of a colonel, rode her horse forty miles at the age of sixteen, using a long stick to defend herself against highwaymen. It is important to make sure that the memories and knowledge of these women do not disappear. These women are important to me because they sacrificed so much for their cause, and I would like to help the rights of women and other minorities as…

In fact, when her husband commented on her abilities he was sure to call her a “genius in test…
