Women in the military : a selected bibliography

The number of women serving in the military has reached historic highs in the past decade, with women now representing more than 14 percent of the total force. In 2008, Ann E. Dunwoody, the Army's top supply officer, became the first female four-star general. This fall the Army tapped Sgt. Maj. Teresa L. King to head its ultra-tough drill-sergeant training program, the first woman to hold the post. At the same time, controversy swirls around the under-the-table recruitment of Army and Marine women into some ground-combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan--which is contrary to official military policy--as well as the Navy's plans to add women to submarine crews. Advocates of continuing to bar women from those jobs argue that sexual tensions and mistrust harmful to the military mission inevitably accompany gender-integration of combat teams. Meanwhile, women vets are suffering high levels of post-traumatic stress disorder and homelessness.

  • "Women in the Military: A Selected Bibliography was compiled to show the changing roles of women in the military and ongoing concerns relating to their integration in the military. Most of what is included was published after 1996, continuing the selection of materials included in the 1996 Library Notes version of Women in the Military. All the items are available in the U.S. Army War College Library collection or through the Internet."@en
  • "Women have served in the world's armed forces in unofficial and official capacities for many generations. Some of the accomplishments of these service women and challenges they encounter today are highlighted in Women in the Military: A Selected Bibliography. Most of the books, documents, and periodical articles cited were published since 2000. The web sites included in the bibliography were checked during November-December 2004 to ensure the links were active as of that period. All items are available in the U.S. Army War College Library collection or can be accessed from the Internet. For your convenience call numbers were added at the end of each book or document entry to indicate the item's shelf location in our library."@en
