About the Book

The first book to explore the wide-ranging impacts of women's experiences in the military and as veterans, Women Veterans reveals a shocking pattern of discrimination and neglect by our government. Though forgotten heroines, these women had a profound effect upon American society and history.

Willenz interprets how women's service influenced the social and economic changes that shaped our modern world.

"This remarkable book . . . illustrates that without even knowing it, many were pioneers in redefining women's roles in contemporary society."

—Monthly Labor Review

"It should be required reading by all concerned with veterans' and women's issues."

—Former Senator Alan Cranston
