Women At War
Women have appeared in many wars in the American history. Some include WW II and Vietnam. But before the WW II there wasn’t really many groups in the Army Corps that were dedicated in supporting of the women joining the military. But, in the early wars in which the female soldiers fought in, they were mainly nurses who took care of those who were hurt on the battlefield. But after a while of this, more and more women began to become ground infantries and pilots for the Nation’s Army. This led for the groups such as the WAC or WASP (Women’s Air Service Pilots) to gain dramatically in size. |

The WAAC (Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps) and
WAC were, surprisingly, formed by the women who
wanted to fight in wars that men mainly fought in, in the
1775’s. The men’s perspective about the women joining
the Army has significantly changed since the first women
joined the Army, with today’s Army.
Before, there were only around 150,000 women
soldiers in the WAC, but now there are many more
types of groups in the Army that allow the women to
join such as those mentioned above (like WACC or
WASP or ROTC). But now imagine, there must be
hundreds of thousand of more women in the Army alone.
