Gail Savage, professor emeritus of history, recently had a scholarly essay published in Genealogy as part of the special issue: Transnational Families: Europe and the World.
“From Good Time Girl to Damsel in Distress: Protecting the British War Bride in the United States,1944–1950,” examines the government program developed to provide financial aid and legal advice to British women estranged from or abandoned by their American husbands from the passage of the 1944 Matrimonial Causes (War Marriages) Act to its winding down in 1950.
The essay is available online and in a PDF version: https://www.mdpi.com/2313-5778/4/4/114/pdf.
