Civilising Forces: Class, Gender and the Australian Women's Army Service 1941-1947
Description
Master of Research Thesis in Historical Research completed September 2019 at the Institute of Historical Research, School of Advanced Study, University of London by Christine Evans Appleyard. From the abstract "This thesis investigates the Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) in the context of gender and class. It reveals how class-based feminine ideals which underpinned AWAS philosophy were challenged by the growing demands of war and how traditional norms and values re-emerged as peace approached. It also asserts that those who had originally been most advantaged by their class when the AWAS was established were among those with most to lose on demobilisation."
