WW2 Letters

Write a letter to a friend or family member. Think of what might be in a letter like this: it would be on a specific date & from a specific city. this letter might describe your hopes, feelings, expectations, fears, etc. It might reference current events (or, then-current events), technology, or politicians. It might describe people, places, settings, technology and more. It might include the other person's life, perspective or questions. In fact, the person the letter is written to might be one of the people on that list!

1. who you are & how you decided
A woman at work in America.
I decided that because I really want a job, and I'd be mad if someone replaced e because I'm a girl, so I can try to relate...

2. research! including specific links and the major topics, people, & info in your letter.
Website link for statistics.
More info.
and a book if i can find one.

3. an overview of the tone & ideas of your letter.
Happiness at first about getting a new job.
Then she comes back later that day to finish the letter, and says how she was fired.
So anger.

4. more???
She tells about the family. One child.
About her husband coming home. He disapproved of her having the job.
um... yeah
