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 brochures and pamphlets produced by the Peace Corps. The documents are small and easy to carry as they were meant to be given out to the public. Most of the brochures are for recruiting new volunteers for the Peace Corps. Due to the age of these documents and the time periods in which they were published, some language may be out of date or no longer accurate.
