A thorough investigation and explanation of women's role in the military. I'd be very interested to read an update, see how things have changed over the past 25 years.

Though the subject matter (the rise of women in the military) is fascinating, I found I couldn’t warm up to this book. I suppose it’s a decent introduction to the issues surrounding female military personnel, but it’s not the meaty read I’d hoped for.

It reads like a journalist conducted a few interviews, did a bit of research and then churned out a book. That’s fine, but it means the book lacks the detail one would get if the author were a true expert on the subject. Published more than fifteen years ago, it’s not irrelevant (there’s plenty to say about female soldiers that was as pertinent in the early 90s as it is now), but it does feel frustratingly dated.
