Abstract

Kimberley Jensen's essay in the edited volume War, Medicine and Modernity on the U.S. Army's 1917 refusal to commission women physicians, a useful corrective to the familiar claim that female equality is advanced in war, reveals that military and medical prejudice combined to maintain prewar boundaries intact regardless of need.
