Abstract
War brides comprised an immigrant group consisting of foreign-born wives of American servicemen, including some foreign-born husbands of American servicewomen, who entered the United States under two gender-neutral pieces of legislation: as non-quota immigrants under the provisions of the 1945 War Brides Act, and; as non-immigrants under the provision of the Alien Fiancées and Fiancés Act of 1946, which permitted some foreign-born women to enter the United States
