Synopsis

Women’s participation in the U.S. Armed Forces has grown over time in response to the national need for their services. Throughout each era of American history, patriotic women volunteered to serve their country in a wide variety of official and unofficially sanctioned capacities. When there was a call to duty, the United States Armed Forces always relied upon women to be a part of the effort. Women in the United States Military: An Annotated Bibliography is the most complete and up to date listing of resources to help students and scholars understand the effect women have had on the wars that have shaped the United States. Covering everything from the American Revolution to Operations in Iraq, Women in the United States Military is essential for all academic and research libraries.

About this title

Review:

'In a tightly structured work where pithy annotations are set within richly detailed essays, each defining a time period and circumstance surrounding women in the U.S. military, Judith Bellafaire has created a credible contribution to the burgeoning literature on women in military life ... Women in the United States Military is a solid reference work, useful in itself as a historical survey, and is highly recommended for both research and general collections.'
