🧭 Plot Summary
At the center of The Women is Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young woman from a conservative, patriotic family. Inspired by her brother’s military service, Frankie makes the radical decision to join the Army Nurse Corps and serve in Vietnam — a move that shocks her family and friends.
In Vietnam, Frankie is thrown into the chaos and horror of war. She witnesses unimaginable trauma while saving lives in frontline hospitals. The story deeply explores sisterhood among women, the physical and emotional toll of war, and the gender-based discrimination female veterans faced — both on the battlefield and back home.
When Frankie returns to the U.S., she finds that the country doesn’t see her as a hero — in fact, it barely acknowledges that women were even part of the war. The second half of the novel traces her post-war struggles with PTSD, societal rejection, and finding her place in a world that has moved on without her.
