Ground zero: the gender wars in the military

FRANCKE Linda Bird

Ground zero: the gender wars in the military - New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997 - 304p.

Tells the stories of women and men in the U.S. military as they relate to the issues raised in the polarized debate over women in combat. The biological aspects of women's lives - menstruation, pregnancy and motherhood - are cast as threats to national security by servicewomen's opponents; women are driven out of the services by harassment; and a determined hard-core of right-wing conservatives and military men seem determined to reverse the progress of women in the military.
