Though they were not professional medical caregivers, they were called upon to provide urgent medical care and, as non-combatants, were forbidden from carrying weapons. Their role in the war effort was quite unique and warranting of further study. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStructured both chronologically and thematically, \u003cem\u003eAn Equal Burden\u003c\/em\u003e examines the work that RAMC rankers undertook and its importance to the running of the chain of medical evacuation. It additionally explores the gendered status of these men within the medical, military, and cultural hierarchies of a society engaged in total war. Through close readings of official documents, personal papers, and cultural representations, Meyer argues that the ranks of the RAMC formed a space in which non-commissioned servicemen, through their many roles, defined and redefined medical caregiving as men's work in wartime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198824165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198824169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Jessica Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054695248127,"sku":"9780198824169","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcff90ee-db93-4238-b25a-74d1ddd02814.jpg?v=1685031449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-equal-burden-jessica-meyer-9780198824169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
