Military Wives Handbook
Does anyone have information on the Servicemen’s Wives Club (U.S.O.)?
I am doing a history on the roles of military spouses and am looking for information regarding the Servicemen’s Wives Club Handbook (1947?) or anything pertaining to the club. I know it was published in and by the club and was located in Portsmouth, Va. The only library who holds a copy is Harvard and they will not lend it out or scan it. Can anyone tell me where another copy would be. If anyone knows of other handbooks published by military spouses/wives clubs I would be grateful for names and any other information you could supply.
I have tried the Library of Congress and they do not have it.
If still available;
906. Servicemen’s Wives Club Handbook. [Portsmouth, Va.??]:n.d. [1949?]. (9)p. Mimeo. Stapled wrapper. Oblong (16 x 12cm.). Thinned spots on back cover where this was probably removed from a scrapbook. Moderate general wear. Good. Appears to have been an African American (or predominantly African American) organization. The June Program was to be on “Race” books. Movies to be discussed in April were Pinky, Lost Boundaries, and Home of the Brave. Membership was open to any serviceman’s wife “…whether a residence [sic] of Portsmouth of an adjoining areas [sic] so long as her residence is accessible to Carver Homes or U.S.O and her attendance can be regular.” 40.00
