Reviews
"My appreciation for the veterans in my own family who served during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, coupled with the tragedy of 9/11 and the sacrifices made since, led me to absolutely consider myself a 'grateful American'--for the blessings of freedom provided by those who wear the cloth of our nation. Major General (Ret.) Mari K. Eder has without a doubt elevated my sense of gratitude even higher. The stories of extraordinary courage, service, and sacrifice by the women she highlights in this book, and all others who served similarly yet have not had their stories told, should inspire all who read this to be grateful Americans as well!" - Gary Sinise, Actor and humanitarian

Synopsis
The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line are the heroes of the Greatest Generation that you hardly ever hear about. These women who did extraordinary things didn't expect thanks and shied away from medals and recognition. Despite their amazing accomplishments, they've gone mostly unheralded and unrewarded. No longer. These are the women of World War II who served, fought, struggled, and made things happen--in and out of uniform. Liane B. Russell fled Austria with nothing and later became a renowned U.S. scientist whose research on the effects of radiation on embryos made a difference to thousands of lives. Gena Turgel was a prisoner who worked in the hospital at Bergen-Belsen and cared for the young Anne Frank, who was dying of typhus. Gena survived and went on to write a memoir and spent her life educating children about the Holocaust. Ida and Louise Cook were British sisters who repeatedly smuggled out jewellery and furs and served as sponsors for refugees, and they also established temporary housing for immigrant families in London. Retired U.S. Army Major General Mari K. Eder wrote this book because she knew their stories needed to be told -- and the sooner the better. For theirs is a legacy destined to embolden generations of women to come. 'Straightforward, eye-opening, and invaluable collection... this group biography offers a breezy tone, historic photographs, and plenty of lively anecdotes to bring its subjects to vivid life.' -- Booklist, For fans of Radium Girls and history and WWII buffs, The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line takes you inside the lives and experiences of 15 unknown women heroes from the Greatest Generation, the women who served, fought, struggled, and made things happen during WWII-in and out of uniform, for theirs is a legacy destined to embolden generations of women to come. The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line are the heroes of the Greatest Generation that you hardly ever hear about. These women who did extraordinary things didn't expect thanks and shied away from medals and recognition. Despite their amazing accomplishments, they've gone mostly unheralded and unrewarded. No longer. These are the women of World War II who served, fought, struggled, and made things happen-in and out of uniform. Liane B.

Gena survived and went on to write a memoir and spent her life educating children about the Holocaust. Ida and Louise Cook were British sisters who repeatedly smuggled out jewelry and furs and served as sponsors for refugees, and they also established temporary housing for immigrant families in London. Retired U.S. Army Major General Mari K. Eder wrote this book because she knew their stories needed to be told-and the sooner the better. For theirs is a legacy destined to embolden generations of women to come., They defied the rules. They shaped the war. And they've been left out of history--until now. In The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line , Major General Mari K. Eder unearths the remarkable true stories of 15 unsung heroines whose courage, brilliance, and defiance altered the course of World War II. These women didn't serve for recognition, they served because it was right. This powerful work of narrative nonfiction transports you into the lives of resistance fighters, medics, spies, scientists, and ordinary women who accomplished the extraordinary. With meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Eder restores these women to their rightful place in history--making the invisible unforgettable. Inside you'll discover: The tennis champion-turned-intelligence courier who gathered Nazi secrets between matches The Jewish prisoner who nursed fellow captives at Bergen-Belsen--including Anne Frank The British sisters who used opera and evening gowns to smuggle refugees out of Nazi territory And twelve other gripping, real-life accounts of defiance, sacrifice, and transformation under fire Written by one of the U.S. military's highest-ranking female officers, this book is both a tribute and a reckoning. These stories are not just history--they are a legacy of resistance, courage, and the unbreakable spirit of women who refused to be written out.
