The "Hello Girls" — America's first female soldiers — were 223 women recruited to serve as telephone operators for the U.S. Army's Signal Corps during World War I.

The operators played a crucial role in keeping communications lines open on the front lines, sometimes under fire, and in ensuring the success of military operations. Following WWI, the operators fought for nearly sixty years to gain full veteran status.
