Abstract
This dissertation examines how U.S. military manpower policy, when used to alleviate recruitment shortfalls, has shaped women’s participation in the civilian labor market. Across two chapters, I study military policy changes during periods of high demand for active duty service members to evaluate their impact on women’s labor force participation and entry into male-dominated occupations.
