Historische Context
The Women’s Army Corps grew out of the WAAC, which was established in 1942. In 1943 the organisation was converted into the WAC, giving women fuller military status within the U.S. Army. WAC uniforms became known for their smart female tailoring and polished presentation. Although intended for non-combat roles, they were worn by women serving in essential administrative, technical and support duties across the wartime Army.
