Propaganda Girls: The Secret War of the Women in the OSS by Lisa Rogak
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
5.0
I really enjoyed this look at a handful of very influential women working with propaganda for the US during WW2. I’ve read some fictionalized versions of some of this based loosely on Zuzka in Rome and the USO teams like Marlena worked with but this fleshed out their real lives and real stories so much better.
I thought it was very well done - I liked both the facts, events, backgrounds of their lives and what they went thru all combined. It gave me the ability to be invested in them as well as what they did for the war and their skill set and experiences. The women are so inspiring in both what they accomplished and what they endured in a male-dominated and female-diminished environment, and they were absolutely brilliant.
The book is relatively short but I appreciated that rather than so many nonfiction histories that just get so bogged down in the details. This felt like a great balance of information and detail.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this audiobook. All opinions are mine.
