SynopsisWhile traditionally female secretarial and clerical jobs took an expectedly large portion of recruits during World War II, thousands of WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service) performed previously atypical duties in many sectors. This text captures these historic women at work, rest and play., In the spirit of his successful books At Ease and Men of WWII , Evan Bachner now focuses on the women of WWII. While traditionally female secretarial and clerical jobs took an expectedly large portion of recruits, thousands of WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service) performed previously atypical duties in the aviation community--such as Judge Advocate General corps--medical professions, communications, intelligence, science, and technology. The photography team, headed by legendary photographer Edward Steichen, captured these heroic women at work, rest, and play. All the photos are from the National Archives and most have not been previously published.
