Toman (nursing, U. of Ottawa) studies Canadian military nurses and their work during World War II, examining how gender intersected with class and ethnicity to transform over 4000 civilian nurses into military nurses, and also seeking an understanding of the issues of who became nurses, why they enlisted, and the legacy of military nursing for postwar civilian practices. The book also analyzes how gender, war, and medical technology intersected to create a role for women in the military as well as the occasional incongruousness of shaping nurses as both officers and ladies. This title should prove interesting to students and scholars of military, medical, and social history of the time period. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
