They Said She Couldn't So She Did

How do you want to be remembered? If you were to write out your life story, what details would you include and which ones would you skip over? This is the untold story of the navy's first poster girl and the first woman in California to enlist in the U.S. Navy. Her life story was recorded long ago on an old cassette player. Recently, her story was transcribed from the audio cassette tapes and edited by the author of this book, her first great-granddaughter. The transcribed recordings give you a snapshot of a life well lived in the 20th Century. What was it like to be a child at the turn of the century, only later to become an adult and find your country at war? Filled with homespun charm, wit, and sometimes advice, the woman who was so much more than a poster girl tells her story, her way.
