A compelling indictment of the social issues surrounding the Women's Army Corps in the 1940s.



Review Quotes




A meticulously researched, carefully organized, and intelligently presented study of social issues surrounding the Women's Army Corps in the 1940s.-- "The Lesbian Review of Books"

A powerful indictment of the sexism that dominates the military. It is also a fascinating look at the ways in which women insisted upon their right to serve their country.-- "Bay Area Reporter"

Compelling.. Gives us important insights into the complex sexual double standards that control our current debate.-- "Lambda Book Report"

Meyer's study of the creation of the Women's Army Corps provides a backdrop against which to read today's headlines detailing sexual misconduct in the military.... Meyer offers a richly textured, theoretically informed account of that debate, focusing on the complex and often contradictory arguments articulated by both supporters and opponents of the creation of a formal presence for women in the military... Race and racial politics played an equally significant part in the creation of the WASC, and Meyer brings her considerable skills to an analysis of the lengths to which the military went to avoid undermining established racial as well as sexual systems.-- "Choice"
