NOTES
Title from title frames
It took the Navy almost two hundred years to promote a woman to flag rank. Alene Duerk, the first female Navy admiral, earned this title after several years of hard work and dedication to the US Navy. From a registered nurse to an Admiral, Duerk was one of the first nurses to serve in three wars: World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. This short documentary recounts how she overcame gender stereotypes to become a historical icon
