MEET MS. REBECCA PEERS

Leah Blackman was not, of course the only woman who contributed her poetry to the war effort. There were many others. Yet as we focus on the women of New Jersey, we meet Ms. Rebecca Peers whose poetry was published as a songsheet in Camden, New Jersey.

Ms. Peers writes an inspirational piece entitled "The National Fast."
