Reviews
(<p> What makes this book important is its comprehensiveness, its general readability, and the fact that it has been written by a practicing obstetrician rather than a health services researcher or an academic obstetrician )-( The New England Journal of Medicine ), ()
<p> Victory Girls, Khaki-Wackies, and Patriotutes offers a substantive and complex narrative of the sweeping and multiple constraints on female sexuality during World War II. Hegarty's study is the best since Allan Brandt's epic work in its nuanced attention to the process by which female sexuality--deemed both necessary and suspect--was harnessed in service to the state, while female sexual desire and women's choices to engage in heterosexual activity remained unspeakable and became critical targets for containment during and after the war. This is a provocative and compelling book. <br>-Leisa D. Meyer, author of Creating G. I. Jane: Sexuality and Power in the Women's Army Corps During World War II
<p> An incisive book, it should be on every obstetrician's reading list.
