Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mundy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mundy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu donation Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mu   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
