Title

WAVES Newsletter.

Coverage

Washington D.C.:

Publisher

Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department

Date

January 1946.

Description

The Navy also produced its own specialized periodicals to highlight the important work that the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVEs) were doing. Rumors on the home front suggested that Army and Navy women joined the military merely to meet and date men. Periodicals like this WAVES Newsletter showed what serious jobs women did. When WAVEs were done reading, they mailed their Newsletter home to help set the record straight.
