- Description
- This volume contains historical narratives about the contributions of women in the American military, from the American Revolution to the present wars in the Middle East. Based on diaries, letters, oral histories and memoirs, these women reveal why and how they chose to serve their country. For example, Harriet Tubman (1820-1913) tells her experiences as the first American woman to lead an invasion, freeing some 750 slaves. Linda Bray (1960-) tells about her leading of troops into combat during the war in Panama in the 1980s.

- 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
- Drawing on a wealth of regimental histories, newspaper archives, and a host of previously unreported accounts, Hall shows that women served in more capacities and in greater number-perhaps several thousand-than has previously been known. They served in the infantry, cavalry, and artillery and as spies, scouts, saboteurs, smugglers, and frontline nurses. From all walks of life, they followed husbands and lovers into battle, often in male disguise that remained undiscovered until they were wounded (or gave birth), and endured the same hardships and dangers as did their male counterparts.

- This book takes a look at the contributions made by American women in the military, past and present. These women all volunteered to serve. The struggle to open opportunities for women in the armed forces is not only a story about the military, but also an important part in women's history.

- Description
- This book highlights the history of women's participation in the U.S.Navy. Godson describes the assimilation of women into the ranks of the tradition-bound, male-dominated naval establishment and weaves in to one coherent fabric the integration of two groups of women - the Navy Nurse Corps and the line officers and enlisted women who, until 1972, were identified as WAVES.
