"I think a lot of women said, Screw that noise. 'Cause they had a taste of freedom, they had a taste of making their own money, a taste of spending their own money, making their own decisions. I think the beginning of the women's movement had its seeds right there in World War Two."
- Dellie Hahne, an educator who worked as a nurse's aid for the Red Cross during the war43
