  • Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements
    Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements omen have profoundly impacted our Navy for more than a century, since being Wallowed to join in 1917. To honor those pioneers who have led the way, along with the more than 60,000 women who serve today, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday and Mrs. Linda Gilday, in coordination with Navy History and Heritage Command, created a display in CNO’s residence, Tingey House, as well as this e-book, which is organized into the following groupings: WWII era and prior; a selection of women ‘firsts’ in the Navy; and some photos of today’s Sailors. Where additional information is available, the photos are hyperlinked to articles, videos, and oral histories (click the photo to access the files). While we know this is a small representation of the women who serve today and the millions who have served, it is our hope it sparks conversation that honors women who wear the cloth of this nation. As a Navy, we celebrate the many accomplishments that women have achieved through hard work, grit and determination. Chief Yeoman (F) Loretta Perfectus Walsh After enlisting on March 17, 1917, Chief Walsh became not only the woman to serve in the Navy and its first female Chief Petty Officer, but also the first woman to serve in a non-nursing capacity in any branch of the armed forces. She served as a Yeoman (F) in the U.S. Naval Reserve during WWI. The first enlisted women in the Navy. Recruited to serve for the duration of WWI in order to free up male personnel for duty at sea, nearly 11,000 women were in uniform by Armistice Day (November 11, 1918).

  • Women Ashore: the Contribution of WAVES to US Naval Science and Technology in World War II
    Women Ashore: The Contribution of WAVES to US Naval Science and Technology in World War II Kathleen Broome Williams On 30 July 1947, US Navy (USN) women celebrated their fifth anniversary as WAVES: Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Se rv ice. In ceremonies across the count ry, flags snapped and crisp young women saluted. Congratulatory messages arrived from navy brass around the globe. The Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Atlantic Fleet, Admiral William H.P. Blandy, noted (perhaps too optimistically) that "the splendid serv ices rendered by the WAVES...and their uncomplaining spirit of sacrifice and devotion to duty at all times" would never be forgotten by "a grateful navy."' Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, C-in-C Pacific, wrote more perceptively that "the vital role" played by the WAVES "in the defeat of the Axis nations is known to all and, though often unsung in peacetime, their importance has not decreased." Significantly, Admiral Denfeld added that he would welcome the addition of the WAVES "to the Regular Naval Establishment," an issue then hanging in the balance.' Indeed, for all the anniversary praise, the WAVES' contribution to wartime successes did not even guarantee them a permanent place in the navy once peace returned nor, until recently, has their "vital role" in the Allied victory received much scholarly attention. This article helps to round out the historical record by briefly surveying one aspect of the role of the WAVES: their contribution to naval science and technology. The navy has always been a technical service but World War II was the first truly technological war.

THE WAVES : AN INSPIRATION FOR THE WOMEN'S ARMED SERVICES INTEGRATION ACT BY TRAVIS RILEY A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2008 ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) on the decision to pass the U.S. Women's Armed Services Integration Act in June 1948. In addition, it examines who these women were, why they joined the WAVES, the roles they played during the war, what they gained from their experiences and how their services influenced the decision to pass the Integration Act. The performance and professionalism demonstrated by the WAVES during the war had a dramatic impact on the integration of women into the U.S. armed services. Shortly after the outbreak of war in December 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Public Law 689 authorizing the temporary use of women in the armed services.

SHEAD WNU Washington Correspondent PHILADELPHIA — Bowling over all opposition in an unchecked power drive toward the coveted goal of 548 votes, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, swept to victory on the third ballot at the Republican National Convention. After a night of speculation on vice-presidential candidates which included the names of Charles Halleck, of Indiana; Senator John Bricker, of Ohio; Governor Warren was put forth as the Dewey choice for the post. Governor Earl Warren, governor of California, was nominated to the vice-presidency by acclamation after Arizona had withdrawn the name of Harold E. Stassen. Actually the colorful New York­ er’s nomination came by unami- mous vote after he had demon­ strated unprecedented strength on the first ballot over six other con­ tenders for the nomination. Gov­ ernor Dewey polled 434' votes on ANOTHER CONSPICUOUS FIRST . For the first time in history the first ballot to 224 for Senator women, outside of the medical services, are a permanent part of U.

Tawatao 1 Maya Tawatao December 11, 2019 HST 471 A Sewing Sacrifice: American Women’s Fashions and Clothing in World War II Perhaps because fashion seems to be a more frivolous topic, most research or works on the topic are descriptive, rather than analytical, and focus on symbolism above all else. Fashion historian Annemarie Strassel argues that the subject is approached with too much caution about the significance, or lack of, surrounding the evolution of style. “Taken as a whole,” she notes, “the feminist potential of fashion has been limited to its visual or symbolic power, distinct from any kind of meaningful material transformation of women's lived experience.”1 Scholars also tend to place most of their attention on specific designers, rather than women themselves, as a group, influencing culture.
