Welcome to the official Lipstick & War storefront!

Here you'll find apparel, accessories, and everyday essentials inspired by the history of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II. From our signature red script logo to designs celebrating the women who shaped the WAC, each collection brings a little military history into everyday life.

More Than Merchandise

Founded in 2020, Lipstick & War is an independent public history project with a mission:

To reclaim and re-center the WAAC/WAC experience from myth, misogyny, and oversimplification?delivered with style, scholarship, and a bold red lip.

Through archival research, public speaking, living history, and digital storytelling, Lipstick & War explores the experiences of the women who served, challenges persistent misconceptions, and brings their history to new audiences.

Every purchase helps support that work, from continued historical research and educational outreach to the creation of accessible, historically grounded content.

Whether you're a historian, a living history enthusiast, a veteran, or simply someone who appreciates women's military history, there's a little something here for you.

Wear the history. Support the research. Keep the stories alive.

Thank you for supporting Lipstick & War and independent public history!
