Re: Pentagon lifting ban on American female troops in combat MOS

I can't get too into specifics (project might be googled) but I'm starting a dissertation about women in uniformed organizations (so both official military and paramilitary clubs) during the World Wars. Recently I've mostly been working on the WAC.

It sounds like you're into strategic stuff; my interests are more cultural! But you might be interested in this. Probably the best source on the WAC that you can get easily online is Mattie Treadwell's official history:
  • http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/Wac/index.htm


  • It's biased, obviously--Treadwell was a WAC officer herself--but she does a really good job.

    Bookwise Creating GI Jane
  • http://www.amazon.com/Creating-G-Jane-Leisa-Meyer/dp/0231101457
  • and Mobilizing Minerva (WWI)
  • http://www.amazon.com/Mobilizing-Minerva-American-Women-First/dp/0252074963/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1
  • are both really important in my field and fun to read.

    I don't know if you have university library access, but if you ever want someone to send you a JSTOR pdf or anything like that I'd be happy to. I love talking about this stuff!
