Women in the Military: An Unfinished Revolution par Jeanne Holm
A history of women in the United States military discusses the role of women in every military conflict since the Vietnam War, the significant advances made by women in the Armed Forces during the 1980s, and subsequent resistance to these reforms.
Edited by Major General Jeanne Holm, USAF (Ret.) Chapters written by well known scholars in the field on each of the World War II services: the WACs, WAVES, Women marines, Coast Guard, Army and Navy Nurses, Medical Specialists, and civilian organizations such as the Red Cross and the USO. This book is the first published by the Foundation's Military Women's Press.
