The nine chapters of this book crisply summarize women's contributions to the U.S. military, from the Revolutionary War to the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. As photos and primary material gradually become more available, Nathan uses them effectively to help tell the story of women's struggle to serve and be treated equally. The overall tone is positive, and the book offers both an overview and individual vignettes. Bib., ind.
