On this day, May 15, 1942, The Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) Act (H.R. 6293) was signed into law.

Later renamed the Women's Army Corps (WAC), over 150,000 served in the WAC in jobs ranging from telephone, radio, and teletype operator to cryptographer, medical technician, sheet metal worker, and aircraft mechanic.

Like some of the wartime posters that encouraged women to the join the industrial workforce, military recruitment posters sometimes offered mixed messages. Prevailing biases regarding gender roles dictated that women not serve in combat roles.
