Two Volume encyclopedia of military women around the world throughout history. Although many of the women listed here are not part of U.S. History, the listings on U.S. women are well done. For example, although Lucy Brewer is listed, the article explains clearly that historians have determined she may be a myth, but the Marine Corps, knowing that, has still elected to use her as an example for public relations reasons. Of course, because this volume does not focus on U.S. History, many names have not been included do to space limitations. For example Claudia Kennedy does not appear, nor does Brigadier General Anna Mae Hays, Clara Barton, Carol Mutter, Mary Hallaren, Elizabeth Van Lew, Eileen Collins and a host of other influential military women. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
