About the Exhibit
This exhibit focuses on the Hello Girls, who were instrumental in WWI communications. Selected for their proficiency in French and English, these women ensured swift and secure calls across the war-torn landscapes of Europe.
Their involvement was crucial for the success of American forces, yet their recognition as veterans was delayed until decades after the war. This exhibit aims to highlight their contributions and lives.
Artifacts were chosen that depict their recruitment, living experience, uniforms, and how they were portrayed and supported, to provide a comprehensive view of their lives.
