Beyond Rosie by Julia Brock,Jennifer W. Dickey,Richard Harker,Catherine Lewis Pdf
More so than any war in history, World War II was a woman’s war. Women, motivated by patriotism, the opportunity for new experiences, and the desire to serve, participated widely in the global conflict. Within the Allied countries, women of all ages proved to be invaluable in the fight for victory. Rosie the Riveter became the most enduring image of women’s involvement in World War II. What Rosie represented, however, is only a small portion of a complex story. As wartime production workers, enlistees in auxiliary military units, members of voluntary organizations or resistance groups, wives and mothers on the home front, journalists, and USO performers, American women found ways to challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes. Beyond Rosie offers readers an opportunity to see the numerous contributions they made to the fight against the Axis powers and how American women’s roles changed during the war. The primary documents (newspapers, propaganda posters, cartoons, excerpts from oral histories and memoirs, speeches, photographs, and editorials) collected here represent cultural, political, economic, and social perspectives on the diverse roles women played during World War II.

The iconic bicep-flexing poster image of "Rosie the Riveter" has long conveyed the impression that women were welcomed into the World War II work force and admired for helping "free a man to fight." Donna Knaff, however, shows that "Rosie" only revealed part of the reality and that women depicted in other World War II visual art-both in the private sector and the military-reflected decidedly mixed feelings about the status of women within American society. Beyond Rosie the Riveter takes readers back to a time before television's dominance, to the golden age of print art and its singular power over public opinion. Focusing specifically on instances of "female masculinity" when women entered previously all-male fields, Knaff places these images within the context of popular discussions of gender roles and examines their historical, cultural, and textual contexts. As Knaff reveals, visual messages received by women through war posters, magazine cartoons, comic strips, and ads may have acknowledged their importance to the war effort but also cautioned them against taking too many liberties or losing their femininity. Her study examines the subtle and not-so subtle cultural battles that played out in these popular images, opening a new window on American women's experience. Some images implicitly argued that women should maintain their femininity despite adopting masculinity for the war effort; others dealt with society's deep-seated fear that masculinized women might feminize men; and many reflected the dilemma that a woman was both encouraged to express and suppress her sexuality so that she might be perceived as neither promiscuous nor lesbian. From these cases, Knaff draws a common theme: while being outwardly empowered or celebrated for their wartime contributions, women were kept in check by being held responsible for everything from distracting male co-workers to compromising machinery with their long hair and jewelry. Knaff also notes the subtle distinctions among the images: government war posters targeted blue-collar women, New Yorker content was aimed at socialites, Collier's addressed middle-class women, and Wonder Woman was geared to young girls. Especially through its focus on visual arts, Knaff's book gives us a new look at American society decades before the modern women's rights movement, torn between wartime needs and antiquated gender roles. It provides much-needed nuance to a glossed-over chapter in our history, charting the difficult negotiations that granted-and ultimately took back-American women's wartime freedoms.

Beyond the Wilds: Helena's Pursuit of Freedom by Mary Kolisnyk Spry-Myers Pdf
In the 1800s, a European peasant desired freedom from his dominant, uncaring landlord in Ukraine. He chose a new life and country for himself and his family, immigrating to the wilds of Manitoba, Canada. The very primitive lifestyle in the frontier wilderness of Canadian woodlands provided the backdrop of the formidable challenges, difficulties and hardships he and his family had experienced-through long years of adjustment-on the road to survival and success. The story takes you on many interesting journeys, across the sea, through time, to a conclusion. This saga tells a heart-gripping human story embedded in history, exemplifying the courage and strength of this family, and highlighting one particular individual, Helena. Ukraine, situated in Southeastern Europe, is about one-tenth the size of Canada. Its countryside is very picturesque with abundant rich agricultural land and has gained the reputation as the "breadbasket" of Europe. At the height of feudalism until 1848, male peasants forced into serfdom were not allowed to own land in Ukraine. After serfdom was abolished, most male peasants were too poor financially to purchase land. One of them was a Ukrainian peasant, Jacob, who found landlessness extremely depressing. His landlord owned the land he and his family lived on. Jacob built the dwellings on the land, but was unable to purchase the land. Jacob heard about an offer from the Canadian government for Europeans willing to purchase 160 acres of land for ten dollars. He decided to pursue the opportunity, not realizing the difficulties and challenges he and his family would have to go through in order to survive. Mary experienced much anxiety during the journey by ship to Montreal. Several of her children became ill. She also had many concerns about the family's uncertain future in a new country. Mary's feelings of insecurity grew during their wagon ride through miles of deep wooded area to reach their new home. She took notice of the uninhabited territory for miles around. Mary soon learned that children walked many miles through the woods to attend school. Wild animals were close by. Temperatures went as low as thirty to forty degrees below zero during the winter months. The story expands on the eldest child, Michael, his marriage to Helena and their family. Their first intimate relationship was on their wedding night. It took place in a hayloft with the sound of cattle chewing and moving around below them. Michael had a strong desire to own land before having children. This desire was overtaken by the birth of their son, Bohdan, about nine months following their marriage. Unfortunately, because a doctor was not available in the area, the boy died from pneumonia at a very young age. Michael and Helena's family increased rapidly. Michael agreed to a partnership with Helena's brother, Jack, over a down payment for a farm estate. Michael was at first thrilled with this venture, but unfortunately they experienced many years of financial depression. Jack decided to walk away from the deal and left the farm to Michael. One of the highlights on the farm Helena enjoyed the most was having a larger home for the children. Her sister, Nellie, visited and stayed on for short periods, helping her with the children. On one occasion, Nellie took care of the children while Michael and Helena went out for a neighborhood get-together four miles from their home. They traveled to their destination by horse and stone boat. The ride home became a nightmare when Michael was not able to control the horse with the reins. The horse finally stopped at the barn door. Michael was astonished when he turned around to talk to Helena and realized she was no longer with him. Where was she? Michael's farming experience became more depressing as more payments were deferred and obligations unmet.. During this very low period, Michael met an elderly

West straightened up from staring at the bottles and advanced toward the hut. Locating the lock, he pressed the button. There was no response. He pressed it again. Slowly, almost reluctantly, the lock swung in its seat. Swiftly he stepped inside and swung over the lever that closed the outer lock, opened the inner one. Dim light oozed from the interior of the hut and through his earphones West heard the dry rustle of tiny claws whispering across the floor. Then a gurgling, like water running down a pipe...FROM THE BOOKS.
The Oxford Handbook of American Women's and Gender History by Ellen Hartigan-O'Connor,Lisa G. Materson Pdf
From the first European encounters with Native American women to today's crisis of sexual assault, The Oxford Handbook of American Women's and Gender History boldly interprets the diverse history of women and how ideas about gender shaped their access to political and cultural power in North America. Over twenty-nine chapters, this handbook illustrates how women's and gender history can shape how we view the past, looking at how gender influenced people's lives as they participated in migration, colonialism, trade, warfare, artistic production, and community building. Theoretically cutting edge, each chapter is alive with colorful historical characters, from young Chicanas transforming urban culture, to free women of color forging abolitionist doctrines, Asian migrant women defending the legitimacy of their marriages, and transwomen fleeing incarceration. Together, their lives constitute the history of a continent. Leading scholars across multiple generations demonstrate the power of innovative research to excavate a history hidden in plain sight. Scrutinizing silences in the historical record, from the inattention to enslaved women's opinions to the suppression of Indian women's involvement in border diplomacy, the authors challenge the nature of historical evidence and remap what counts in our interpretation of the past. Together and separately, these essays offer readers a deep understanding of the variety and centrality of women's lives to all dimensions of the American past, even as they show that the boundaries of "women," "American," and "history" have shifted across the centuries.

The country’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, its interventions around the world, and its global military presence make war, the military, and militarism defining features of contemporary American life. The armed services and the wars they fight shape all aspects of life—from the formation of racial and gendered identities to debates over environmental and immigration policy. Warfare and the military are ubiquitous in popular culture. At War offers short, accessible essays addressing the central issues in the new military history—ranging from diplomacy and the history of imperialism to the environmental issues that war raises and the ways that war shapes and is shaped by discourses of identity, to questions of who serves in the U.S. military and why and how U.S. wars have been represented in the media and in popular culture.
