Die etwa 150.000 Frauen, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Women’s Army Corps Dienst taten, waren die ersten regulären Soldatinnen der US-Armee. Um männliche Soldaten für den Kampf freizusetzen, arbeiteten sie auch in traditionellen Männerbereichen, etwa als Mechanikerinnen oder Pilotinnen in den USA, Afrika, Europa und Südostasien. Die Autorin geht den Erfahrungen dieser Frauen nach, den militärischen und zivilen Diskursen über Soldatinnen im Militär und dem Umgang der Armee mit soldatischer Weiblichkeit und weiblicher Sexualität. Anhand von Regierungsdokumenten, Kriegsgerichtsprozessen, aber auch Selbstzeugnissen, Gedichten und Songs zeigt M. Michaela Hampf, wie umkämpft die Konstruktion der Soldatin im Amerika der vierziger Jahre war und bis heute ist.
The Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in which almost 150,000 women served over the course of the war was the first women’s unit in the Regular Army. In order to release male soldiers to fight the women worked at first in jobs that were traditionally marked female but were soon also trained as mechanics and pilots and served in male-dominated jobs in the United States, Africa, Europe and Southeast Asia. In her study M. Michaela Hampf traces the experience of these women/soldiers, examines military and civilian discourses on women in the military, and explores how the Army dealt with soldierly femininity and female sexuality. Drawing upon government documents, records of courts-martials as well as letters, poems, and songs, she shows how hard the concept of the women/soldier was fought over in the 1940s – a battle that continues to this day.
