Description: <\/strong>The post-1945 period is an understudied period of Canadian women\u2019s military history. Yet this period saw women negotiate their place in and connection to the Canadian armed forces in a variety of ways. Some women joined the Canadian military. The 1950s and 1960s saw the expansion, contraction, and a constant debate over women\u2019s roles in the Canadian military. In addition, women veterans created spaces for themselves in pre-existing veterans\u2019 groups and formed their own. Through veterans\u2019 organizations, women veterans sought community among other veterans, ran fundraisers to help support troops, advocated that women should be allowed to serve, and strengthened ties with the Canadian armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will also include a book launch for Cold War Workers | McGill-Queen\u2019s University Press<\/a>. Sarah Hogenbirck and Matthew Wiseman\u2019s lectures are connected with their respective chapters in this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
