Where are the women in American Comics of the Vietnam War?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Although women have long played roles in the military, within the USA this has usually been in secretarial, support and caring positions; the role of women in active combat remains controversial. Since 1948, women have been a permanent part of the US military. But they are not common characters in US war comics. One of the simplest explanations for limited female protagonists in American comics of conflict is that women have long been considered only as bit-players on the military stage. This talk presents an overview of the representation of both American and Vietnamese women in comics of the Vietnam War, viewing female characters through three lenses: the caregiver, the combatant, and the consumable. I ask to what extent do female characters fill these roles? Are they viewed differently by different male characters? And what does this mean for representations of both femininity and masculinity in these comics?<\/p>\n
