- Description
- This history follows the revolution in women's lives and aspirations during the second decade of the 20th century, as reflected in costume and appearance. The book opens the wardrobe in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the contrast between the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of Edwardian womanhood and the gossamer gowns draped round her. It examines such contradictions as suffragettes battling social and legal restrictions while fashion literally hobbles women with narrow skirts and thigh-length corsets.

- Description
- This book tells the story of the 223 women who served in the United States Army's Signal Corps in World War I as the first American women soldiers, such as Grace Barker and Merle Egan. General John Persing demanded female 'wire experts' to keep him connected with troops under fire as without communication the army would collapse. In 1918 they were deployed to France as operators of the telephone switchboard. The book reveals the challenges the women faced in a war zone with bombardments and male soldiers. The army discharged the last 'Hello girls' in 1920, only to be denied recognition as veterans and veterans' benefits while in the same year Congress ratified the Nineteenth Amendment granting the ballot and gave women the right to vote. The women began a sixty-year battle that a handful of survivors carried to triumph in 1979.

- Description
- This book tells the story of the women who served in the military during World War I. Effectively shattering the misconception that women's military role in the war was limited to nursing, the authors recount that from 1917 to 1920, some 12,000 enlisted women served in the U.S. Naval Reserve and 305 in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Carefully researched and engagingly written, the book explores a surprising variety of military duties carried out by women, including a number of non-clerical, highly specialized billets. In their efforts to acknowledge the historical significance of the women's service and preserve a record of it, Jean Ebbert and Marie-Beth Hall address the Navy's official and unofficial responses to the women's presence and thoughtfully document the dilemmas of the time.
