That Men May Fight
Women and Military Service during the World Wars
New!
From: Material Traces of War
$7.10
This chapter describes what some Canadian women did in the military along with how they pushed and lobbied for expanded roles. From military nurses in both wars, to paramilitary auxiliary corps, to the establishment of the women’s service branches in 1941–1942, the stories in this chapter follow the evolution of these roles from 1914 to 1945. It also highlights the challenges and opportunities facing women who opted for military service, as they moved into an area previously closed to them.
