Books:
History of the Women's Army Corps:
The most important book on the Women's Army Corps in World War II is Mattie E. Treadwell's The Women s Army Corps (1954), part of the United States Army in World War II series published by the U.S. Army Center of Military History.
Bettie J. Morden's The Women s Army Corps, 1945-1978, contains an excellent introductory chapter on Army women in World War II.
Many WACs wrote of their World War II experiences, and these memoirs make extremely informative and entertaining reading.
These include:
Charity Adams Earley- One Woman's Army: A Black Officer Remembers the WAC (1989);One Woman's Army describes in candid detail how Charity Adams Earley and a group of committed African American women "rode point" in World War II in the battle to serve their country.
The Women's Army Corps Veterans Association, and the Daughters of Pallas Athene- Cameo Recollections of Women's Army Corps Veterans (1983);
Margaret Flint- Dress Right, Dress: The Autobiography of a WAC (1943).
Scholarly treatments of the subject include:
Doris Weatherford- American Women and World War II (1990). Relying primarily on published sources, especially in the popular press, the author, a historian and freelance writer, focuses on the war's liberating effect on women. Although aware of the inequities women faced, especially in the military, Weatherford describes how women benefited from their wartime experiences.
Karen Anderson- Wartime Women: Sex Roles, Family Relations and the Status of Women During World War II (1981)Wartime Women examines in detail the short-term changes of the war years; the jobs in war plants and support services; the effects of women's earnings on family finances; the response of trade unions. Anderson shows that the seeds of the postwar denial of women's equal participation were present in the ambivalence of wartime attitudes.
In addition we have two recommended books concerning the Vietnam era:
Major General Jeanne Holm, USAF (Ret.), wrote "Women in the Military: An Unfinished Revolution", Presidio Press, Novato, California, 1992. MG Holm served as director of Women in the Air Force between 1965 and 1973. This classic work on women in the armed forces is a history of issues, major players and policy development concerning women's role in and with the military and women's gradual integration into tradition-bound military institutions and culture.
Another favorite written about the Women's Army Corps (WAC) during the 60's and 70's was by Lieutenant General Claudia J. Kennedy (Ret) called "Generally Speaking", Copyright © 2001. A memoir by the first woman promoted to three-star general in the United States Army. She served 31 years (June 1969-June 2, 2000)
Note: Photo gallery of WACs serving in Vietnam from 1966 - 1971 can be found at:
