In honor of #InternationalWomensDay I want to recognize a group of women whose achievements have been overlooked for too long: The Hello Girls of WWI. In 1917, the U.S. made the realization that utilizing telephone communication was the only way to win the war.
A group over 200 women volunteered w/the U.S. Army as telephone operators. The Hello Girls provided crucial support that connected the front lines with the supply and military command. Despite these heroic efforts, The Hello Girls did not receive veteran status for sixty years.
These women also did not receive medical care or veteran benefits because of their gender. In highlighting the selfless service of these women, we must pledge to not only recognize women’s achievements, but to remain proactive in reducing gender inequality.
