More about the book

The book explores the roles of women in the military, both as service members and as wives, highlighting the gender constructs that limit their recognition as equals to men in the U.S. and Canada. It features contributions from various scholars and military personnel, addressing contemporary issues such as women's access to military academies and combat roles, the challenges faced by officer-wives, sexual harassment, and policies regarding LGBTQ+ service members. This work contributes to feminist military studies by examining how gender roles are maintained within military contexts.
