(VIRTUAL) Always Ready: Military Women on the Cape and Chatham’s Top Secret WWII Coast Guard Station

During World War II, the Armed Forces called on America’s women to join their ranks. Cape Cod, already a hub of military activity, was flooded with WACs, WAVES, SPARs, WASPs, and military nurses from all over the country for the duration of the war. Join CCMM curator Emily Sullivan to learn more about these pioneering women, including the members of the first all female run Coast Guard station in Chatham.

Emily Sullivan joined CCMM as Curator in February of 2022. Emily has a BA from Boston University in History, and an MA from American University in Public History. She has served as Historian at the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and at History Associates, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland.
