About the Exhibit 
 

Looking beyond the Home Front, this major traveling exhibit salutes the trailblazing women who answered the call to serve in the US Armed Forces during World War II. Some 400,000 American women volunteered for vital roles in component branches of the Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marine Corps, with the civilian Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), and in the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, filling crucial personnel gaps while learning new skills and gaining experience they may have never earned outside of wartime. The exhibit examines the personal stories and motivations of individual servicewomen; the limitations and challenges that came with these new opportunities; and the influence of their service on women in the American military today.  

Visitors will experience: 

  • Original artifacts including uniforms, equipment, and recruitment posters representing all aspects of women’s service 
  • Interactive scrapbook that allows visitors to explore treasures within the Museum’s archive 
  • Film pieces examining women’s service in World War II featuring interviews with modern servicewomen who followed in their footsteps 

  • Interactive, AI-powered oral history displays allowing visitors to have Q&A interactions with three women WWII veterans 

    Our War Too: Women in Service is presented by the Gayle and Tom Benson Charitable Foundation.
