Description
This collection of essays explores the often-neglected topic of women's roles in warfare, from their mobilization as support staff to their participation in combat roles. By examining the experiences of both academics and individuals who lived through these events, the authors shed new light on a fascinating aspect of military history.
The book delves into the stories of women who have been victims of violence, those who have resisted male aggression, and those who have taken on unprecedented direct combat roles. It also considers the changing nature of warfare and how women's contributions have evolved over time.
