| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Thoroughly researched study of American women in the South Pacific, mainly in the Philippines but also in other islands such as Borneo and Celebes.
She covers civilian women interned; military nurses taken prisoner; women who evaded capture by evacuating to the mountains or joining guerrilla groups. For the women interned, Kaminski explores their role in organizing and administration, in work, in romance, marriage and family life.
This is the first documented study to examine the experience of American women in the Pacific systematically. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
