Women and War in the 21st Century: A Country-by-Country Guide
Margaret D. Sankey
Twenty-three countries currently allow women to serve in front-line combat positions and others with a high likelihood of direct enemy contact. This book examines how these decisions did or did not evolve in 47 countries. • Delineates the ways in which women are incorporated into national militaries in the both the United States and countries around the world • Offers in each entry the distinct national context in which countries have decided to employ women in warfare • Reveals how different nations choose to include or exclude women from the military, providing key insight into each nation's values and priorities • Examines how governments treat women serving in combat: battlefield experience can "earn" a woman citizenship or be cause for shunning her, depending on the state
