Editorial Reviews

Review

"Well written and draws on a variety of primary source material. . . . The book adds to the continuing study of women pilots in World War II."

-Net Book Review

"An excellent study . . . its grounding in feminist history and methodology are timely and welcome."

-American Historical Review

"Merryman's work has been hailed as a fresh, astute, analysis of the WASP program. The book is well written and draws on a variety of primary source material including, military documents, interviews with former WASPs, newspapers and articles and Jacqueline Cochran's private papers."

-Minerva

"Clipped Wings lets us peer into the political cockpit of militarized gender construction. I've learned a lot from this fine book."

-Cynthia Enloe,author of Does Khaki Still Become You?

"Merryman has assembled a formidable study of these women pilots using recently declassified government documents, as well as interviews with surviving WASP personnel."

-Feminist Collections
