It’s definitely not how one would assume a normal career path would start, but it was probably a godsend to many women who might never be able to gain the experience to pursue jobs like that. And if they came from small towns or small-minded communities, the chance to start over with a job in a new place with no “reputation” was probably best. It was not fair, but a woman with an STD was usually viewed as cheap trash (even if said woman had only ever slept with her husband who was a serial cheater and slept with every living creature). It seems barbaric and backwards, but… in this kind of situation it probably led to better outcomes than most.

STDs still exist and exist with stigma to this day at least the women in this film appear to be treated as humans not just carriers of bacterial infection.

My dad was a WW II vet. He told me he had to watch VD films that were pretty bad. In 1944 he was overseas while my mom was pregnant with me; I'm pretty sure he didn't mess around.

This is an absolutely amazing film. They weren't in the service but it looked like it in the beginning. These girls had somehow gotten an Std. How many had been raped, or molested by family members? Did anyone ask? Its 1944 and some of these women had no vaccinations and didn't know how to read or write. Maybe this program was a blessing in disguise if it got them out of their homes, and got them a job in a new city.

There was then no federal top-level department specifically dedicated to health matters, like the modern U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The U.S. Public Health Service was a division of the Department of Agriculture. This was 80 years ago, and the federal government was far, far smaller than now in every way, although growing into the vast sector that it is today. It wasn't because anyone was thinking of the women as mere cattle.

We're they allowed to leave before their treatment was complete? No? Then, wrap it up as nicely as you like, but these women were jailed for having a STI when the men who gave it to them were likely still running around passing it to others. If it was such a problem that the National Security Administration thought it was hindering "the war effort" & they needed to quarantine these women who had it then it stands to reason that EVERYONE with the shit should also get forced treatment. Yea, "the good old days". If this was when America was "great", think I'll take a pass & keep all my modern ideals & conveniences.

Natasha Burdette Yep I knew about this since I was a kid. One of my great aunts had a best friend which she had from elementary school who was jailed/treated when her fiance cheated & she ended up getting VD after sleeping with her fiance who CLAIMED "he had also never done this before" (He went on to infect 5 other women that she knew of [who were all jailed/treated] & God only knows how many he infected before her. He was never put into treatment against his will). She apparently was in complete shock because she trusted him. They did NOT end up getting married. She never did get married. It was a very sad thing. It still makes me crazy when we get 2 groups of people that are treated VERY differently & that is why my comment had more than a little sarcasm & you could maybe "hear" my frustration. Have a great day.

Well before we get wrapped in public indignation I’m surprised of the sexist assumptions that the man gave it to her. The simple fact is a lot of these women were hookers and VD was a problem in the Armed Forces. This is one way of dealing with it in war time. There was a time when people were quarantined if deemed a health threat to society: TB, VD, Typhoid Fever were hard to cure. We forget the great epidemics of the past: polio, diphtheria, typhoid and VD. These were real. Isolating carriers was a prudent method of protecting society. The needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few. Don’t judge by contemporary standards. By applying today’s values after the fact, you are only demonstrating an inability to understand the mindset and worldview of the time. It was a treatment method, nothing more, today we have better treatment method, but if the women sent there prevented someone catching VD especially a soldier in time of war, it was worth it. Yes it is collectivist but there are collectivist aspects of our society today, just manifested in different ways.

A delightful film. Very sexily made. A compassionate, if a bit authoritarian and oppressive way to treat these girls who almost seem to be criminals for catching a venereal disease. Society feels it needs to keep female sexuality in line, I guess, one way or another. There is really no role in my opinion for anything but the medical treatment, such as working as a way to "rehabilitate" them, but at least it's not too abusive. Since then things have both improved and gotten unimaginably worse for women. For the most part society is content with dispensing medical treatment now, except if the women's partners are "underage" then the situation is horribly worse and they are horrifically punished by sometimes decades in real prison. That particular brand of misogyny would have been inconceivable in 1944, but now it is so normalized that I can scarcely write this without being censored.

MaryLou! I’m very happy you learned a new skill, we’re hired at a wage you could support yourself on….it amazed me you were sent off to the new place- but we weren’t told if you had a home there. 😮. I will imagine you were welcomed with open arms by a loving family. Saved up and moved into a swell place all your own in no time. 🤔🤭

It’s a subtle gesture, but I swear at 1:11, as they made these women parade in front of the camera, one of the last girls gives an almost “flipping the bird” gesture while looking right at the camera person. These women were not happy to be there. This was a sham propaganda film.

Women really have had to put up with some BS over the centuries. However, the horrible shaming these ladies were subjected to seemed to balance out with the several days of bedrest and spontaneous dance parties! Who brought the Chiquita banana dance costumes to the VD shack with the hope that a dance party might break out during their stay? Good for them and way to hold their heads up high! I too might be willing to catch a treatable infection if it meant I’d be able to go somewhere and sleep unbothered! As it is I am a woman in 2024 forced to carry health insurance on myself and yet still expected to pay ridiculous copays and outrageous prices for medicines. Ah, the good old days ….
