WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
In 1947, in Tokyo, 500 women were dishonorably discharged from the US Army on the charge of homosexuality. Murder in the WAC is a one-woman show written and performed by Pat Bond, about how lesbians were recruited into the US military during the war and after the war expelled. There are a few mentions of the word sh-t that have had their vowels silenced for radio. Also a euphemistic reference to lesbian sex. This is comedy, but with a tragic ending.
This show was written and performed by Pat Bond at a live-audience event in New York, in 1982. Pat Bond (1925-1990) was an actress and a popular writer and performer of one-woman lesbian-related comedy shows in the United States. She was also a member of the Women’s Army Corps near the end of World War II.
The Women’s International News Gathering Service (WINGS) was co-founded by the late Katherine Davenport and Frieda Werden in 1986. WINGS is distributed free weekly to community radio around the world. WINGS may be contacted at [email protected].
