Essential reading on women in the military

This collection should be required reading for anyone interested in the history of women's roles in the military. The chapters cover such varied topics as women on the Long March, British nurses in the Boer War, women in Algeria and Israel, and sexual harassment and fraternization in the US army. These essays are both rigorously researched and well written. This is a valuable book and deserves more attention than it has received.
