Women tells the grand story of a divided country while also providing a personal portrayal of growing up in a perilous time.
Heroes are not always women. These remarks are a revelation to Frances "Frankie" McGrath, a twenty-year-old nursing student. She has always taken pride in acting morally because she was raised in the beautiful, sun-filled state of Southern California and was shielded from the outside world by her traditional parents. However, as the world begins to change in 1965, she has the audacity to envision a different destiny for herself. She follows her brother's lead and enlists in the Army Nurse Corps when he ships out to fight in Vietnam.
The chaos and devastation of war overwhelm Frankie, who is just as green and inexperienced as the troops sent to fight in Vietnam. Friendships are strong and easily destroyed, and every day is a gamble involving hope and treachery as well as life and death. She encounters, and joins, the courageous, the lost, the broken, and the fortunate throughout a war.
For Frankie and her combat-weary pals, however, the war is only the beginning. Repatriating to a divided and altered America, enraged protestors, and a nation determined to forget Vietnam presents the real challenge.
