Description

Women and the Military looks at the significant contributions women have made to the services throughout our nation's history. By including information on all aspects of the combatant, noncombatant, and support roles of women in the military, this illustrated encyclopedia chronicles both the accomplishments and the ongoing struggles experienced by women serving or fighting for the right to serve. In total, nearly 400 alphabetical entries cover notable individuals, events, laws, court cases, concepts, organizations, wars, and military branches. A highly readable introduction provides an informative and useful context for the entries, while generous cross-referencing, an index, and a bibliography ensure readers can easily locate related topics of interest.
