The document discusses the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), which later became the Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II. It allowed women to serve as civilians supporting the Army. Around 150,000 women served in non-combat roles such as clerks, drivers, and mechanics. Oveta Culp Hobby was appointed as the first director to help establish equal treatment and opportunities for women in the military within the limits of the time. Living conditions were difficult as women had to learn to live with limited resources and space, but they found ways to appreciate the experience.
