Rejected by the British war effort in 1914 because they were women, a band of medics took their considerable skills across the channel to France. Chris Holme traces their story with the help of newly available documents

The human hunger for mythology lives on in our entertainment; Captain America is a remarkable 20th century example of the hero’s journey in that he was forged during WWII and subsequently reborn as a man-out-of-time. Today he remains an important symbol within our culture, the living embodiment of an imagined past, a bridge between the popular understanding of the Greatest Generation and the hopeful horizon of progressive humanity (Coates, “Why I’m Writing”). At the character’s core, there are two mechanisms that explain his appeal, symbolism and longevity: the classical death-and-resurrection theme and his continuous link to World War II.

Tennessee Williams and Sam Shepard are two generational playwrights whose work not only defines their perception of American masculinities but also the role and social consequences of women in domestic environments. It is with mothers, daughters, and wives that the writers delve into dysfunctional interpersonal relationships, which often lead to physical and psychological abuse. This study analyzes the clash between gender and violence on Williams and Shepard’s selected plays, such as A Streetcar Named Desire and A Lie of The Mind. By considering whether these playwrights perceive and treat their female characters similarly in reality and literature, one can conclude that Williams and Shepard’s tendency to put women through traumatic experiences is not only the representation of their social and cultural atmospheres but also a form of literary technique. Thus, this capstone analyzes how both playwrights’ ideas revolve around American masculinities and violence, the authors’ personal experiences, and the cycle of abuse that women suffer in the plays.

Besides that, they had only the fight from enemy antiaircraft artillery fire and from the crashes of their burning comrades, which interfered with their observations of the pathfinder fights.3 Second, there were unexpected thick clouds. The Germans launched a tremendous amount of antiaircraft fire when they heard the hundreds of aircraft flying just a few hundred feet overhead. Since the transports were dropping at altitudes of only 700 feet, they were within range not only of antiaircraft artillery, but also enemy machine-gun fire from the ground.
