Sievert, Terri. The U.S. Army at War. Minnesota: Copstone Press, 2002
The first woman that was in the Army was Molly Pitcher. She helped fight the British during the Revolutionary War. Her job was to get the Continental soldier’s water, but then she fired a cannon because her husband was too tired. In 1898 the Army Nurse Corps Division was formed, and in 1948, all branches made women’s units. In the Gulf War, about 26,000 women served. Most of the things that they did were as dangers as what the men did, even though the women could not fight in direct combat.
Women in the Military. California: Green haven Press,1991 There are ways if you are a mother of 4; one of the people that they interviewed said that the Army Community Service gave her cloths, cribs, and new high-chairs to her, she was thankful. There was also other originations from the Army, that were for different reasons, called the Army Research Institute, and another one if the Army Readiness Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP).

             This website was very useful for me.  I was able to get information on when
certain groups of the Army was established and how they were established.  This also
gave us information on wars and important dates.

http://frontiernet.net/~pendino/World-War-II-Women.htm
             From this website, we were able to get information on what groups that women
mainly occupied in during the times of World War II.  Some of those groups are WASP,
WACC, WAC, etc.

Interviews(1)

Webler (Mrs. Webler).  Ret. Army.  Personal Interview.  January 20, 2004
             From being able to interview a person who was actually a woman who was in the
Army and was actually in wars, we were able to get information beyond what most wordy 
books can give you.  We were able to get what kinds of feelings she had, what motivated 
her, did the men treat them better later on, etc.  Basically, we got how a person really feels
like by going into the Army where most of the people are men.

              In around 1776 women disguised themselves as men to go and fight in 
war. The WAAC(Woman’s Army Auxiliary Corps) and the WAC (Woman Army Corps) were

were station far from towns and cities where color prejudices were active.

             We didn't get too much from this site.  But we did manage to  get a couple
good photos that can be shown on our site.  The only information we got from
this site was that in the modern day Army, the treatment between women and men
almost equal.
