Abstract
dc:description.abstractAs an analysis and examination of the letters of two West Virginia residents written during each resident's service in World War II, this thesis compares the wartime experiences of a brother and sister against secondary and primary source literature covering World War II and the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps/Women's Army Corps. The experiences of these two soldiers are told through an interpretation of their letters home and an examination of the training experiences of women and men in World War II. In addition, the first main section of the thesis, Chapter Two, is devoted to an overview and analysis of the Women's Army Corps. The following two chapters are a summary of the letters of First Lieutenant Anna Marie Fisher and Staff Sergeant E. Steve Fisher, respectively.
