Revised Edition
Author is a retired Major General with the United States Air Force
This revised edition of Maj. Gen. Jeanne Holm;s classic work on the history and role of women in the U.S. armed forces brings the reader up to date by covering the role of American military women in all post-Vietnam military operations-including the recent Persian Gulf War. Just as important is her discussion of the changing role of women in the military during the 1980s and the current debate over combat exclusion law and policies.
...
The fight against the "built-in institutional resistance of the tradition-bound military sub-culture" is a large part of General Holm's story. Women's battle for status and recognition is the other part.
