Mobilizing Woman-Power

A study of how women were organized and deployed to support the war effort in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, combining narrative reports, instructional detail, and illustrated examples. It surveys recruitment, training, uniforms, and pay for agricultural, industrial, transport, medical, and auxiliary services; describes formation of land armies and auxiliary corps, factory and workshop retooling, and women's work in salvage, signaling, and ambulance services; examines friction with unions and administrative challenges; and argues for women's essential contribution to sustaining armies, home-front production, and broader efforts to preserve civilization.
