As a part of our sequence with the 2025 Shannon Lecture Sequence, I discuss with Sarah Hogenbirk, who will ship the opening lecture on Monday entitled ‘Combating for Their Place and Recognition: Canadian Servicewomen and Ladies Veterans in Put up-Second World Conflict Canada. The lecture will function a launch for Chilly Conflict Employees: Labour, Household, and Neighborhood in a Nuclear State, by which Sarah has a chapter entitled “Developing the Army Profession Lady, Nineteen Fifties-60s.” We talk about the legacy of girls’s Second World Conflict service, how the Chilly Conflict impacted ladies’s service, and the variations between the three armed companies. We additionally chat concerning the roles by which ladies served, the variations in service pre- and post-unification, and the long-term impression of the Chilly Conflict period on ladies’s service within the Canadian navy.
