Release a Man for Combat by Michaela Hampf Pdf

Die etwa 150.000 Frauen, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Women's Army Corps Dienst taten, waren die ersten regularen Soldatinnen der US-Armee. Um mannliche Soldaten fur den Kampf freizusetzen, arbeiteten sie auch in traditionellen Mannerbereichen, etwa als Mechanikerinnen oder Pilotinnen in den USA, Afrika, Europa und Sudostasien. Die Autorin geht den Erfahrungen dieser Frauen nach, den militarischen und zivilen Diskursen uber Soldatinnen im Militar und dem Umgang der Armee mit soldatischer Weiblichkeit und weiblicher Sexualitat. Anhand von Regierungsdokumenten, Kriegsgerichtsprozessen, aber auch Selbstzeugnissen, Gedichten und Songs zeigt M. Michaela Hampf, wie umkampft die Konstruktion der Soldatin im Amerika der vierziger Jahre war und bis heute ist.

This is the second volume published by the U.S. Army Center of Military History on the history of the Women's Army Corps from its beginning in World War II until it was discontinued by Congress thirty-six years later. The fi rst volume, by Mattie E. T read well, dealt with the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and its successor, the Women's Army Corps (WAC), throughout World War II. This volume covers the thirty-three years of Corps history between V-J Day and the decision by Congress in 1978 to end the WACs' separate status and assimilate them into the other branches of the Army (except the combat arms). T he current volume tells how the directors of the Women's Army Corps struggled to achieve the goals that we take for granted today. It tells of the years they spent push ing and prodding the Army. the Department of Defense, and Congress to achieve Regular Army and Reserve status, military cred it for their WAAC service. and promotion above the grade of lieutenant colonel. While early WAC directors had the task of fighting for progress and equ ity, their successors fought a losing battle to keep en try standards high and 10 retain their separate corps status. The author of this volume served as a WAC throughout t he existence of the Corps. She provides readers with a comprehensive picture of WAC growth and development and the transformation in the status of Army women brought by the advent of the all-volunteer Army and the women's rights movement of the seventies. T he book makes a significant contribu- tion to women's history and the history of the Army.

The Women's Army Corps, 1945-1978 by Bettie J. Morden Pdf

The Women's Army Corps makes a significant contribution to women's history and the history of the Army. Bettie J. Morden weaves the ideas and moral attitudes that existed in the middle decades of the twentieth century to chronicle thirty-three years of WAC history from V-J Day 1945 to 20 October 1978, when the Women's Army Corps was abolished by Public Law 95-584 and discontinued by Department of the Army General Order 20, with the WAC officers assimilated into the other branches of the Army (except the combat arms). For the most part taking a chronological approach, Morden focuses on the interaction of plans, decisions, and personalities that affected the WAC directors as they pushed and prodded the Army, the Department of Defense, and Congress to achieve Regular Army and Reserve status, military credit for Women's Army Auxiliary Corps service, and promotion above the grade of lieutenant colonel. The early WAC directors, according to Morden, had the task of fighting for progress and equity, whereas their successors fought a losing battle to keep entry standards high and to retain the corps' separate status. She provides readers with a comprehensive picture of WAC growth and development and the transformation in the status of Army women brought by the advent of the all-volunteer Army and the women's rights movement of the seventies.
