Good Girls, Good Food, Good Fun: The Story of USO Hostesses during World War II - Gender and American Culture
Meghan K. Winchell
Throughout World War II, when Saturday nights came around, servicemen and hostesses forgot the war for a little while as they danced in USO clubs, which served as havens of stability. This book shows that in addition to boosting soldier morale, the USO acted as an architect of the gender roles and sexual codes that shaped the greatest generation.
