The LGBTQ movement for civil rights has given rise to related activity in the cultural sphere aimed at recovering the long history of same- sex relationships, understanding the social construction of gender and sexual norms, and documenting the rise of movements for LGBTQ rights in American history.

I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health. This research involved collecting and analyzing the opinions of journalists and key informants such as current and former government health officials. I also studied public documents, transcripts of earlier interviews and other materials. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.

    Women at War – the Establishment of the Women’S Army Corps (Pennsylvania Military Museum, J

    PMM BLOG ARCHIVE May 28, 2020 Women At War – The establishment of the Women’s Army Corps (Pennsylvania Military Museum, J. Gleim, Museum Curator) In 1941, Massachusetts congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers approached US Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall with a proposal for a Congressional bill that would establish an Army Women’s Corps separate and distinct from the Army Nurse Corps. As American involvement in World War II appeared increasingly likely, Ms. Rogers was reminded of the civilian women during World War I who had worked as contractors under the Army without the benefit of military housing, medical care, or legal protection. General Marshall supported Rogers’ bill, believing that the possibility of the United States fighting a two- front war in Europe and the Pacific would eventually lead to a shortage of manpower. He felt it was wasteful to expend time and money training men to do critical communications jobs such as typing and operating switchboards when there were already highly skilled women in the American workforce capable of doing such jobs. Rogers introduced her bill to Congress in May 1941, however the bill failed to garner serious attention until after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The bill passed Congress and President Roosevelt signed it into law on May 15, 1942 with an initial recruitment goal of 25,000 women for the first year. American women, eager to contribute to the war effort, eagerly enrolled and by November 1942 the fledgling Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) had surpassed its recruitment goal. Applicants were required to be between 21 and 45 years of age, be at least five feet tall and weigh at least 100 lbs.
