I really Loved Marion Stegeman's letters. Especially since I had done my interview last week with my grandmother and I found out that she was part of the armed forces, not during WWII but after. But its cool to read these letters and know that a person in your family was part of it. I enjoyed reading the letters because they were full of so much emotion. There is such a difference between reading a male soldiers letters and a womans. The women show excitement and fear and sadness, they are great examples to know what these women were feeling at the time. I agree with Kelly, just her signature or her Dear Mother, or Mom, just showed what mood she was in. It also was surprising to me how accepting the men were with Stegeman and how much respect they gave her because of the talent she had. -- Amanda Taub | I really Loved Marion Stegeman's letters.

| + | I also thought Marion Stegeman's letters were really fun to read. It was interesting how light-hearted and fun the letters were about flying the airplanes, as though it was no big deal that Marion was flying them when her mother could have never even dreamed of having the opportunity. These letters were great in highlighting how much women's roles progressed. --Kendall Haring | ||
