Abstract This article examines the conflicted messages and construction of identity associated with women in uniform during World War II. Uniforms are developed as a unifying equalizer for a body of individuals; dress as a symbol, the part standing for the whole. Women’s military dress from this period, however, subverted this aim due to the ambiguous governmental and societal response to the women’s services, and the recruits’ desire for femininity in their military lives. How women used their uniforms to gain access to luxuries that would have been previously unavailable to most of them, such as travel is also explored. These themes will be examined with the help of advertisements, original documents and oral histories.

标准和至高无上的智慧:二战中的奢华和女性服务制服
摘要 本文探讨了二战期间与身着制服的女性相关的矛盾信息和身份建构。制服是作为一个人的身体统一均衡器而开发的;服饰作为一种象征,部分代表整体。然而,由于政府和社会对女性服务的模糊反应以及新兵在军队生活中对女性气质的渴望,这一时期的女性军装颠覆了这一目标。还探讨了女性如何使用她们的制服获得以前大多数人无法获得的奢侈品,例如旅行。将在广告、原始文件和口述历史的帮助下检查这些主题。
