With Allison Finkelstein, Chair of the Arlington County World War I Commemoration Task Force

Join historian Allison S. Finkelstein to learn about the postwar legacy of the WWI reconstruction aides, civilian women who treated injured soldiers using techniques that formed the foundation for modern physical and occupational therapy. After pioneering rehabilitation practices during WWI, these women worked to professionalize their field as they commemorated the war through their continued support of the men and women who served in it.
