Members of the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) enjoy lunch with (seated at end of table, left to right) Representatives Winifred Claire Stanley, Edith Nourse Rogers, and Frances Payne Bolton in February 1943. Rogers sponsored the 1941 legislation that established the program, as well as a subsequent bill to permit enlistment and commissioning of women into the Army reserves. The WAAC program was dissolved after World War II.
