- Description
- At least 250 women served-disguised as men-in the ranks of both North and South during the Civil War. After covering the major combat actions in which women served the authors reconstruct the reasons why women entered the armed forces: many were simply patriotic, while others followed their husbands or lovers and yet others yearned to break free from the constraints that Victorian society had laid on them as women.

- Description
- For 150 years, Virginia Military Institute had operated as a revered, state-funded institutionnd throughout that long history, no one had ever questioned the fact that only males were admitted. Then in 1989 a female applicant complained of discrimination to the Justice Department, which brought suit the following year to integrate women into VMI. .Philippa Strum traces the origins of this landmark case back to VMI's founding, its evolution over fifteen decades, and through competing notions about women's proper place. Unlike most works on women in military institutions, this one also provides a complete legal history- At the heart of the VMI case was the 'rat line': a ritualized form of hazing geared toward instilling male solidarity. VMI claimed that its system of toughening individuals for leadership was even more stringent than military service and that the system would be destroyed if the Institute were forced to accommodate women.

- Description
- This book tells the story of the women who served in the military during World War I. Effectively shattering the misconception that women's military role in the war was limited to nursing, the authors recount that from 1917 to 1920, some 12,000 enlisted women served in the U.S. Naval Reserve and 305 in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Carefully researched and engagingly written, the book explores a surprising variety of military duties carried out by women, including a number of non-clerical, highly specialized billets. In their efforts to acknowledge the historical significance of the women's service and preserve a record of it, Jean Ebbert and Marie-Beth Hall address the Navy's official and unofficial responses to the women's presence and thoughtfully document the dilemmas of the time.

- Description
- The second world war was a period which witnessed struggles for the appropriate definition of feminine identities and behaviour. Sexuality was becoming a contentious issue. Gender relations and the discourses constructing sexuality could have been treated as the gendered nature of the public and private spheres. In this book the author looks at women working in factories before and during the war, the beauty myth and pin-up girls and the sexual double standard.

- Description
- Was Herodotus's account of the Amazons fact or fiction? Archaeologist Jeannine Davis-Kimball gives an account of her digs at burial sites of Eurasian nomads, finds it an embellishment of the former. But, she posits, women's place in that world was generally more exalted than previously thought.Nearly one-quarter of the women buried in some late Iron Age sites were either warriors or priestesses. Even the remainder, 'hearth women,' were important players in the tribes' surprisingly egalitarian societies. Further, southern Kazakhstan's famous 'gold man' was in fact, a 'gold woman.' Davis-Kimball also finds solid evidence of 'high status' women in graves as far east as China and as far west as Ireland. .This book weaves science, mythology, and mystical cultures into a bold new historical tapestry of female heroines and leaders who have been left out of the history books until now. From China to Celtic lands, warriors, priestesses, and matriarchs come to life in this accessible and dramatic account of one archaeolgist's search for the truth. Davis-Kimball uncovers the real story behind Amazons, banshees, and mummies, an entire ancient class of courageous women who played vital and respected roles in their societies.
