women in the military

The book Women in the Military by Sandra Carson Stanley is about all the opportunities in the military for women. This book lists many facts about the past such as the rules and regulations for women in the past and how women had to dress as guys to be able to fight. The also discuss the many changes in the military for women threw history such as the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA).this act allowed women to be able to be promoted into higher offices then before and was one of the first acts past that opened up opportunities for women. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in joining any branch of the military. Also anyone who is interested in the changes for women in the military. This book was very interesting but some parts of the books seemed boring and hard to get threw because they list fact after fact. But I did like the interviews with the women in the military today and the ones from the past. this book relates to English because some soldiers questioned if the should go to war or not and leave there family and in the book Inherit the Wind the character Rachel was wondering if she should leave her father or not .Over all I felt like this was an interesting book and helped me a lot because I want to join the marines and it showed me the opportunities women have now compared to the past.
