A fascinating look into what was expected of the wife of an Army soldier in 1959. Reflective of how women were viewed and their role in the success of their husbands, this book is a clear snapshot of an Army wife's life and an important part of the Army's heritage.

This book is still pertinent today in addressing the stresses the spouse of a soldier goes through, the dedication of a soldier to his vows to country and to wife, and the sometimes intense loneliness for an Army spouse. It examines the "sharing of the harsher circumstances that keeps tight the bond of sisterhood among Army wives", a quote that pertains to the Army spouse of 1959 as well as to spouse of today.

A wonderful study in history, social norms, spousal expectations, and the strength that women are expected to have.

An excerpt from the book: "A coffee, brunch, lunch or tea at the Officer's Club or Non-Conmmissioned Officers Club will vary very little from the standpoint of etiquette as far as you and I are concerned. A coffee is at nine-thirty or ten o'clock, brunch at ten or ten-thirty, and lunch at an hour convenient to the club and their volume of noon business. Teas are held anywhere from two until four o'clock. Coffees are just that, coffee with a nibble of something sweet, more or less food and with or without a meeting. Coffees are easily expandable from ten to a hundred guests. Weekend brunches are a "fun" way to entertain, and could be considered co-educational, I suppose. They remind me of the Hunt Breakfasts at Fort Sill or Benning or other posts where mounted units were stationed and "riding to the hounds" on the high-seated Tally-ho was an every Sunday sport, followed by a rousing breakfast, and much loud, if not tuneful singing. Remember "Drink, Puppy, Drink"? The time for brunches, after Sunday church services, is closer to noon than it would be on a weekday."
