Inspired by an all-Black battalion in the WWII Women's Army Corps, "Women of the Post" by Joshunda Sanders tells the remarkable stories of Black women whose efforts have often gone overlooked by history. Judy, Stacy, Bernadette, and Mary Alyce all come from different places and backgrounds, but under the guidance of Second Officer Charity Adams, they're sent to England to sort over a million pieces of mail — making them the only unit of Black women to serve overseas during the war. Their work takes a personal turn, however, when Mary Alyce discovers a lost letter that was meant for Judy, and it could change everything.
