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 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
