82 Detroit Jewish News

Right: Ethel Gladstone
of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps
(World War I) served overseas
as part of the Fifth Army Corps
Expeditionary Force.

Lawrence, Wash., performing admin-
istrative duties, when her superiors
took note of her artistic talent and put
Fortang to work drawing confidential
maps, charts and graphs. Eventually,
Fortang illustrated the very recruitment
posters that had drawn her and so
many-other women into the military.
Fortang noticed the increase in
women's responsibilities in the mili-
tary, commenting, "By the end of
World War II, we early volunteers
experienced a century of evolution in
the deployment of females. We found
ourselves clearing a path toward
women's liberation," she says.
Women in the military continued to
take strides toward equality after World
War II and after the second wave of
feminism washed over the country.
The progress of female enlistees in
the religious arena is
to light in
a section of the exhibition entitled
"Keeping the Faith." In the early 1980s
Bonnie Koppell became the first female
Jewish chaplain ever to serve in the U.S.
military, as an army chaplain reservist. A
photograph of her conducting an
evening Havdalah service for troops at
Fort Huachuca, Ariz., illustrates the
two-fold dedication of Jewish women in

the.military — to country and to God.
This dual devotion brings Jewish
women together, and at times one
kind of devotion reinforces the other.
As women have become increasingly
involved in combat situations in
recent years, religion has taken on a
new importance.
Lisa Stein, who served in the Air
Force in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf
war, says, "We didn't flaunt our prac-
tices, but [my religion] was important
to me, especially considering the grim
odds [for survival] predicted at the
'\
beginning of Desert Storm." El

Military: A Jewish Perspective"

American Jewish Military History,
