American Women Rebuilding France, 1917-1924 July 8, 2010

This exhibition, organized by the Franco-American Museum, Chateau de Blerancourt, France, consists of more than forty vintage photographs and rare silent film footage that bring to life the extraordinary work undertaken between 1917 and 1924 by 350 American women -- all volunteers -- who left comfortable lives in the United States to help the war-ravaged civilian population of northeastern France.
