Editorial Reviews

'In a tightly structured work where pithy annotations are set within richly detailed essays, each defining a time period and circumstance surrounding women in the U.S. military, Judith Bellafaire has created a credible contribution to the burgeoning literature on women in military life ... Women in the United States Military is a solid reference work, useful in itself as a historical survey, and is highly recommended for both research and general collections.'
