All female black battalion of WWII

American women were only allowed to serve in the army during the First World War. Many of the women were nurses and staff who cooked and catered for injured soldiers. But many of these women were white as at the time slavery and racism prevented black women from giving their services to America.

Damn that slavery in 1917. Glad my uncle freed them fighting the Civil War in the 1960s.
