Yeomanette
| Морской словарь |
On march 19, 1917, the bureau of navigation advised the commanders of u.s. naval districts they could recruit women into the naval coast defense reserve to be “utilized as radio operators, stenographers, nurses, messengers, chauffeurs, etc., and in many other capacities in the industrial line.” the majority of enlisted women were designated yeomen (f)—inevitably known as yeomanettes. (see also waves.) one of them wrote a short jingle to eulogize the force: i’ve been in frigid greenland and in sunny tennessee, i’ve been in noisy london and in wicked, gay paree, i’ve seen the latin quarter, with its models, wines, and tights, i’ve hobnobbed oft with broadway stars who outshone broadway lights; but north or south or east or west, the girls that i have met could never hold a candle to a newport yeomanette.
