Atlantic Rock Island Society Enterprise (ARISE) is sponsoring a presentation this weekend at the American Legion Memorial Building (The Armory), that will make women in war come alive. Actress Pippa White will share stories of real women in the Civil War, World War I and II in the program entitled “Spies, Soldiers and Saints.”

White researches their lives through diaries, letters and memoirs. Women tended the wounded, risked their lives as spies and served as soldiers where needed. Saints, Soldiers and Spies will be presented Sunday, April 28 beginning at 2-p.m. at the American Legion Memorial Building (201 Poplar Street, Atlantic). The building is handicapped accessible. The program is supported by the Atlantic Community Promotion Commission. There is no fee to attend, and refreshments are included.
