Originally nurses are seen in community; however hospitals and physicians saw females in nursing as a source of free or inexpensive labor. Exploitation of nurses was common by employers, physicians and educational providers (Chin, 2008). Many nurses saw active duty in World War I, but the career was transformed during the second World War. British nurses of…

The Civil War was a pivotal time during not only the United States's history, but the rest of the world. Advancements in industries, writing, music, the medical field, artillery and women's rights were on the rise and the outcome of the war affected so many lives, and if it had ended differently, the world would have been a divergent place. Specific advances in the medical field like new ambulance systems, or systems for transporting the wounded, would be so widespread that they would be used in the early to mid 1900s in World War I and II. The impact of new types of uniforms and the limited amount of protection they provide would be responsible for the amount of injured soldiers, and people like Jonathan Letterman, William Hammond, and Clara…
The Nurse, rather than embracing the current feminist movement, hides her sexuality in order to maintain her authority. During the 1950s, men often dominated the workplace, forcing women to succumb to their authority. Nurse Ratched clearly defies this stereotype by maintaining complete control over the ward. She is capable of manipulating the doctor, aids, and patients into following her orders, which leads Harding to say that the ward is run by a matriarchy. (Kesey 56).…
In the 1860s, there was neither a doctor nor even nurse that had yet come up or establishes biology and was semi dumb of the causes and reasons of such diseases in the 1860s. In the Civil War doctors went too medical school for only about two or four years more of school. Now in the Civil War time period medical improvements were so little, they practically wasn’t there at all, and that goes the same for doctors. The medicine time in the 1860s was the new start of the equipment that we use today. But in the 1860s doctors or nurses were known as specialists.…

Two sources that address this are “Dressed to work for Uncle Sam” and “Women Study Blueprint Reading”. Women were ready and willing to take over jobs that men would primarily do, while the men were away fighting. Women were ready to learn how to work in factories and due to this their fashion changed. Women needed clothing that would not get caught in the machines and they also needed…
The role of the female was transforming. Woman earned their right to vote and the workplace was a more common place to find them.

As with any conflict, the postwar world can be drastically different to the world that existed during the war. The fashion trends that existed during the war were typically aimed at practicality in the workplace. Furthermore, the rationing during the war led to a decline in fabrics and clothing availability, so the fashion industry was not significant during this time. Gradually, as World War II ended, the trends begin to be less practical and focused more on overall appearance. Women’s clothing in particular began to be burdened with excess fabric, collars, petticoats, pleats, gatherings, and other fabrics.…
Anyway one puts it, women have had a hard road in equality, something that was still occurring during the Vietnam War. Women, at the time, were regarded as “second class soldiers” (Carlson, “Women, the Unknown Soldiers”). The nurses had a rough time, especially in training. Apparently, orientation for nurses was a “bloody hell” (Carlson, “Women, the Unknown Soldiers”). “The surgeon threw a pair of scissors at me and said, "Don't just stand there.…
