That video is brief, is available at Critical Past, where a lot of archival footage is being held and restored. If you look closely, you may see some young versions of people like Franklin Roosevelt included in this footage.<\/p>\n

The history of the US Navy\u2019s recruiting women for positions as Yeomen (f) and as Marinettes came about under the Naval Act of 1916.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Act\u2019s vague language relating to the reserve forces did not prohibit women from enlisting. The act declared that the reserve force within the U.S. Navy would consist of those who had prior naval service, prior service in merchant marines, were part of a crew of a civilian ship commissioned in naval service, or “all persons who may be capable of performing special useful service for coastal defense.” This last element contained the loophole that allowed women to enlist.\u201d \u2013 Archives.gov.<\/p>\n

Although recruited ostensibly for clerical work, these women filled many other positions, to relieve men in stateside slots for duty at sea and in Europe.<\/p>\n

Their service officially ended in 1919. A few remained in service in the Reserves until 1922, but the last Yeoman (f) was discharged in March 1921. This led into the creation of WAVES in World War II, recruiting women for almost all positions normally filled by men to release men on shore duty to overseas and shipboard positions.<\/p>\n
