Regarding "History of the Women's Army Corps" article in "Ladies' Home Journal"

 File — Box: 57, Folder: 1

Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

The Women's Army Corps files contain copies of Hobby's military record and discharge papers. There are many photographs, probably not duplicated in the Library of Congress collection as they were given to Hobby after she had transferred materials to the Library of Congress. The same can be said for some of the correspondence from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Hobby's role as the head of the WAC's was constantly written about on various anniversaries of World War II, so there is a number of newspaper and magazine clippings. Finally, there is a manuscript copy of the book, History of the Women's Army Corps, by Mattie Treadwell, which, when published was changed to the title Women's Army Corps [WRC UA565 .W6 T74 1954].
