Homefront Heroines: The WAVES of World War II introduces a group of quirky, independent and determined women who went where no women had gone before: into the Navy as WAVES, or Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service.

They volunteered, served as equals to men, and discovered that when they went home nothing could be the same again.
