Her brother goes to Vietnam. She signs up to follow him—even when no one else thinks she's brave enough.
The Women gives you 1960s America on the brink: Frankie, a California-born nursing student, ditches the "safe" path to become an Army nurse in Vietnam.
She meets trauma, trauma meets her back, and she realizes the real war isn't just overseas—it follows you home.
This is for the rebels, the caretakers, and the ones who stepped into fire and came back tougher.
