The focus then shifts to military wives, women employed by the DoD, and female civilian military instructors whose work is less visible but no less essential to the institution. The book also examines the experiences of women outside of the military, such as \"comfort women\" near U.S. bases, women engaged in peacework, and women workers affected by military spending in the federal budget.\u003cbr\u003e Analytic chapters are juxtaposed with first-person narratives by women who have actually been there, including a member of the first gender-integrated class at West Point, the first female civilian instructors at the U.S. Naval Academy, and an African American Air Force Nurse Corps veteran.\u003cbr\u003e Contributors include Connie Reeves, Georgia Clark Sadler, Gwyn Kirk, and Joan Furey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55206699729270,"sku":"9780814719060","price":130.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26883872.jpg?v=1738197896","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780814719060-gender-camouflage","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
