Linda and Nancy discuss their paltry previous knowledge of the USO and highlight some of the most surprising things they learned reading this book. The USO was hugely important to service members. Half of all soldiers described them as having “great importance” to them. But, the USO clubs reinforced very traditional gender stereotypes recruiting white, middle-class girls to provide safe, healthy entertainment for the soldiers. This model largely excluded less affluent, minority-representing women from volunteering. The USOs was not prepared to provide fun for service members who were not white, middle-class, male, and straight. Linda and Nancy recount some of their favorite anecdotes from the book. They also talk about how their family members contributed to the war on the home front. They imagine they might have done to support the war effort.
