Attribution
Meghan K. Winchell
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2008
Description
To that end, Winchell explains, USO recruitment practices characterized white middle-class women as sexually respectable, thus implying that the sexual behavior of working-class women and women of color was suspicious. In response, women of color sought to redefine the USO’s definition of beauty and respectability, challenging the USO’s vision of a home front that was free of racial, gender, and sexual conflict.
