Women in the Peace Corps
Peace Corps (U.S.)
"No longer is it true —as Euripedes said it was true in the 4th Century B.C. —that "a woman should be good for everything at home, but abroad, good for nothing." For the Peace Corps has already sent abroad several hundred women who are serving in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Of the Volunteers now overseas, one third are women. They are teachers, nurses, home economists, social workers, laboratory technicians, and rural development workers. The record they are writing, supported by requests from 30 countries for 2,000 more like them, proves that Euripedes under-estimated the power of a woman — especially a woman in the Peace Corps." -- [first interior page]

American Labor in the Peace Corps
Peace Corps
"American Labor in the Peace Corps" is a publication that focuses on how labor - especially unionized labor - forces such as construction workers, electricians, bricklayers, craftsman and more can serve overseas in the Peace Corps. It contains an anecdote from an AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) mason, reasons to volunteer, and quotes from executive level leadership of the union AFL-CIO regarding the Peace Corps as a positive force for change. The last major section touches on basic qualifications and where the Peace Corps was at the time active. This is the 1960 edition.
This page is a collection of Peace Corps produced brochures and pamphlets that vary in scope and in purpose. The documents are small and were meant to be given out and easy to carry. Most of the brochures were meant to help recruit new volunteers for the Peace Corps. Due to the age of these documents and the time periods in which they were published in, some language may be out of date or some country names may no longer be accurate.
