An inspiring graphic novel about Jane Kendeigh, a nurse who helped
wounded soldiers in combat zones during World War II. During World
War II, the United States’ fight against the Japanese on islands
in the Pacific was intense and deadly. To help respond to
casualties in battle, the U.S. Navy trained 122 nurses to aid
wounded soldiers in combat zones. The first nurse to do so was Jane
Kendeigh, a twenty-two-year-old woman from Ohio. In March 1945,
Kendeigh’s first assignment was to help soldiers fighting in the
Battle of Iwo Jima—a fierce battle with many casualties. With
bravery and determination, she and other nurses helped thousands of
soldiers in that battle—and many more in the Battle of Okinawa.
In this full-color graphic novel, discover more about this
courageous nurse who braved the battlefield to help U.S. soldiers.

A young Jewish immigrant from Poland, Rose Schneiderman went to
work in a cap factory in New York City when she was just thirteen
years old. She saw that women workers earned much less than men,
that the factory was cold and dirty, without even clean water for
the workers to drink. Rose spoke up for better conditions, and
organized 20,000 women to walk out, leaving factories all over the
city empty and still. Following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory
fire in 1911, Rose's speech at the Metropolitan Opera House
galvanized support for better working conditions. The International
Ladies Garment Workers Union was born. Includes historical photos
and bibliography, plus a note to families about tikkun olam,
repairing the world, a core element of Jewish tradition.
