Who is recognized as the first female Marine?

The key point is recognizing the historical milestone of women in the Marine Corps. Opha Mae Johnson answered the call during World War I and enlisted in 1918, becoming the first woman to serve in the Marine Corps. Her entry marked the beginning of women’s participation in the Marines and set a precedent for future generations of female Marines. The other names refer to different contexts in military or historical lore and did not hold the distinction of being the first female Marine.
