From #AHAPerspectives in 2022: In 1970, US Air Force nurse Susan Struck had to choose between an abortion or losing her job. @karadixonvuic.bsky.social writes about how including the military in our histories of abortion complicate the story of "choice" today. 🗃️

I read VanDevanter from cover to cover one Friday night as an undergrad, and that’s why I do what I do. It’s also confirmation that I’m a big nerd, as if that was in question.
Pls repost. Help! Picking books for a US women's hist survey. What excellent memoirs get at the 1960s/70s? So far, I'm def using Moody's Coming of Age in MS and VanDevanter's Home Before Morning. What else? 🗃️ @womenknowhistory.bsky.social @jwomenshistory.bsky.social @thewphp.bsky.social

And be sure to visit the Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, opening March 22!

We all know the Medal of Honor, but who are the people who wear it? What are their stories, and what does the medal mean to them?
Tune in to History Frogcast, as Richard and Ben talk with Kali Schick and Michael Caldwell of the National Medal of Honor Museum, and historian Dr. William A. Taylor.
And here's the book that we discuss!

Check out this episode with the National D-Day Museum and my friend John C. McManus. Hear about amazing women who volunteered to entertain American soldiers at war. These inspiring women were essential to morale and mental health, and they worked under severe pressures.
