Linda Canada, who volunteers with the San Diego History Center and was formerly the archivist for the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego, presents 'San Diego Women and Their Role in World War II' at the Mission Valley Library during Women's History Month
in providing educational material and curating exhibits. She took some time to talk about what she learned, and will be sharing, during this Women’s History Month about the contributions of San Diego women during World War II.
One of the things that I was really interested in, there was a guy who wrote a dissertation on wartime changes at San Diego High School [. “A New Federal City: San Diego During World War II.” Pacific Historical Review, vol. 63, issue 3, August 1994.]. I was really interested in how the women teachers at the high school really stepped up to make sure that the students were getting the information they needed.
