Abstract

In April 1919, the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) created the Old Country Service School (OCSS) to train foreign‐born women in American social welfare philosophy. The YWCA expected OCSS students to help rebuild war‐torn Europe. A study of the school's curriculum and students provides an interesting examination of gender, class, and identity as they related to international peace efforts during the interwar years.
