Oasis Presents:
Once the shock of the bombing of Pearl Harbor subsided, the women of San Diego found their lives changing dramatically. Married women whose husbands joined the war effort had to become head of the household, mother their children, and maybe be the breadwinner all at the same time! Single women lost their traditional social lives as sweethearts and beaus joined the service. For all women, there was the challenge of transitioning from a male-dominated world to one where they could be responsible for their own actions and plan for their own futures.
Come hear about the real experiences of San Diego women as they lived through this tumultuous period of history!
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. in the Community Room - Mission Valley

Mission Valley Branch Library
The Mission Valley Branch Library is one of the thirty-five branches of the San Diego Public Library system. The 19,760 sq. ft. facility was opened July 20, 2002. The Library received an Orchid Award from the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for "Best Institutional Design" and "Best Divine Details" for the lighted tree columns/sculptures throughout the facility. The Library includes a large community meeting room, seminar rooms, a children's library, an outdoor patio with a children's garden which has a flowing river sculpture, a computer lab and a mezzanine and terrace. Its excellent collection of books and media, central location, and close proximity to retailers and a trolley stop have made it a popular Library destination for many San Diegans.
