Women's integration into the military academies afforded an almost unique opportunity to study social change. This book includes interviews with all persons concerned with planning and implementing women's admission.

Gives accounts by women on active duty, retired officers, women who have worked for the armed forces in a civilian capacity, and civilian academics. This book dispels many of the myths about women and the military and explores the reasons for the persistence of misconceptions in the face of increased female participation.

Presents an analysis of the effects of change in military policy on women of different ranks and ages that reveals how certain functional myths are challenged by the presence of women. This title includes a first-person account by a female veteran of one woman's experience in the Air Force.
