The Double Bind of the Double Standard: Vd Control and the Cwac in World War II

WHEN IN OCTOBER 194 o commanding officers were canvassed for their views on employing women in uniform in the Canadian Army, a number cautioned against mingling of the sexes.• Given society's endorsement of monogamous marriage as moral ideal, concern over admission of women into the military was realistic, and precautions were taken when the Canadian Women's Army Corps was created in August •94•. Its initial status as a separate entity, under military control but not part of the Canadian Army, might have been one such precaution. But even after the Corps' incorporation into the Canadian Army (Active) in March • 949, it remained segregated for purposes of discipline and living quarters? Special permission was required for any exception to the protection-in-numbers policy that CWAC personnel were not to be sent on duty assignments in units smaller than twelve? But other restrictions recommended in • 94 o proved impossible. 'Mixing men and women' at some work places was unavoidable. Sexsegregated messing was sometimes inconvenient. And the army could

Neuropsychiatry in World War II, Vol I, Zone of Interior.

It should not be surprising that a coedited book on neuropsychiatry in World War II, published 21 years later, would have obvious substantive gaps, multiple redundancies and repetitiveness, undue reliance on statistical tables, and be highly impressionistic and include screen memories. But it is surprising that the writing of this book, a project of the US Army Medical Service Historical Unit since 1956, should have produced a volume so flat, stale, compartmentalized, and uneven. book's very outline, however, emphasizes the lack of coordination in World War II psychiatry—an extension of civilian practice at the time. Failure to present a cohesive, dynamic portrait of the growth and development of an extensive psychiatric network is grievous. isolation and separateness of such chapters as Preventive Psychiatry, Women's Army Corps, Clinical Psychology, Psychiatric Social Work, Occupational Therapy, and The Consultant System, and the failure

What Comes of Training Women for War

This volume will be source material for all time on the facts of the women's branches of the Army, the Navy, the Air Forces, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard. This book contains a concise statement of how many women served, how they were trained and their response to military life. The wartime women's military services were the Women's Army Corps (WAC), the Women's Reserve of the Naval Reserve (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service, abbreviated as WAVES), the Women's Reserve of the Coast Guard Reserve (SPAR), the Marine Corps Women's Reserve (MCWR), the Army Nurse Corps, and the Navy Nurse Corps. The Women Airforces Service Pilots (WASP) and the Cadet Nurse Corps of the United States Public Health Service should not, strictly speaking, be included, because these two services were not militarized. However, the WASP was like the women's military services in all other respects, and the work

The Personality Results of the Wage Employment of Women Outside the Home and Their Social Consequences

VIOCATIONAL experience always influences character. It is only in the case of women, however, that we find general interest in the possible effects of out-of-the-home employment upon the personality. Such a question does not interest us with reference to men since we take their wage-earning experience for granted. In spite of the large army of women who are at work in business and industry under conditions similar to those of men, there is still a public opinion which regards their working, at least in case they are married, as something socially peculiar that deserves scrutiny. The popular mind still thinks of housekeeping as the normal vocation for women and insists upon regarding departures from this as worthy of special attention.
