The author received a bachelor's of art degree from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1943. In college she was active on the Michigan Daily, the student newspaper, and was the first woman editor of Gargoyle, the campus humor magazine. After graduation from college she went to New York City. She held several jobs in journalism, then joined the U.S. Office of War Information as an assistant news editor. In 1944, she went to Beirut, Lebanon, where she supervised editing of women's material for newspapers and magazines. In 1945, she returned to New York to join Time Magazine as an editorial researcher. She met and married Edwin Palmer Hoyt, then a foreign correspondent for the Denver Post, in 1947. Together, they traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East covering news stories, such as the Czechoslovakian Revolution and the Israeli War of Independence. During the 1950s, Ms. Gruhzit-Hoyt was a columnist for the Denver Post, the Colorado Springs Free Press and Time Magazine. They were divorced in 1992. Ms. Gruhzit-Hoyt continued a career as a free lance writer and book reviewer for the New York Times, the Denver Post, Time Magazine, the Baltimore Sun, the Daily Press (Newport News Virginia) and the Gloucester-Mathews Virginia Gazette/Journal. She authored 11 books including "They Also Served: American Women in World War II; " and her last book, "A Time Remembered: American Women in the Vietnam War." This is the first book of its kind-examining the crucial role these women played in World War II. Here are the intimate accounts of twenty-eight servicewomen, many of whom risked their lives during the war. These and others were the pioneers of what decades later would become the Women's Revolution. Olga Gruhzit-Hoyt contacted hundreds of organizations, veterans groups, and individual women who told their stories in interviews, letters, and accounts written especially for this important book. These women came from farms, universities, small-town America, and big cities. WASPs, WACs, WAVEs, Marines, Army and Navy nurses, cooks, clerks, OSS intelligence gatherers, and other service women--forty in all--offer intimate, firsthand accounts of their rigorous experiences overseas and the mistreatment they sometimes faced.
