"The knife wasn't for the Iraqis," says one woman. "It was for the guys on my own side." By Helen Benedict This story has been corrected since it was originally published. As thousands of burned-out soldiers prepare to return to Iraq to fill President Bush's unwelcome call for at least 20,000 more troops, I can't help wondering what the women among those troops will have to face. And I don't mean only the hardships of war, the killing of civilians, the bombs and mortars, the heat and sleeplessness and fear. I mean from their own comrades the men. I have talked to more than 20 female veterans of the Iraq war in the past few months, interviewing them for up to 10 hours each for a book I am writing on the topic, and every one of them said the danger of rape by other soldiers is so widely recognized in Iraq that their officers routinely told them not to go to the latrines or showers without another woman for protection.

Women in Military Service for America Memorial From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Women in Military Service for America (WIMSA) Memorial is USA's first major national memorial honoring women who served in the armed forces during all eras and in all services. The Women in Military Service for America Memorial is located at the Ceremonial Entrance to Arlington National Cemetery and honors all women who have served in the United States Armed Forces . New York architects Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi , husband and wife, designed the memorial. Planning for the memorial began as early as 1985, with the groundbreaking occurring 10 years later on June 22, 1995. The Memorial was dedicated on October 18, 1997, and officially opened to the public on October 20, 1997. The Ceremonial Entrance was originally dedicated in 1932, when the Arlington Memorial Bridge opened, but was never actually completed or maintained. It was modified to include a reflecting pool, engraved glass panels on its roof and other changes. Inside is a museum area featuring exhibits on women in the military and military history, an education center and small theater.

@import url(/css/default.css); WOMEN IN THE MILITARY WHEREAS , during the Equal Rights Amendment fight, our opposition effectively fanned the flames of fear that women would be drafted and thrown into foxholes in some strange and distant country; and WHEREAS , with women soldiers playing a more significant role in the Persian Gulf than ever before in our military history, we may have an unprecedented opportunity to bring to an end the long debate over whether women should be in combat, to expand career opportunities for women in the military and to remove what has been an overwhelming obstacle to women's equality and the Equal Rights Amendment; and WHEREAS , exclusion of women from positions arbitrarily defined as "combat" is based on archaic ideas of what women and men are physically and emotionally capable of doing and outdated ideas of what modern military theory and combat are; and WHEREAS , the definition of "combat" is ambiguous and varies from branch to branch; armed conflicts since World War II rarely involve readily definable front-lines, rear echelon units may be a 30 second missile flight from the so-called front-line, and in modern military theory rear support troops are destroyed first before assaulting those up front; and WHEREAS , the combat exclusion does not protect women; 80-90% of the casualties in conflicts since World War II have been civilians and the majority have been women and children; women and children are subjected to violence every day on the streets and in our homes; rather than creating restrictions on women under the guise and illusion of protection, we would all be better protected by seeking diplomatic, economic and other non-violent ways to resolve international differences other than armed conflict; and

Military Women "Firsts" Women in the U.S. military have always had a "tough row to hoe" and we owe a lot to those women who literally broke ground, opened doors, and made the choice of a military career easier for those who followed. Beginning with the early pioneers, who were almost never recognized, here are some of the military women of achievement and their accomplishments. Please bear in mind that the terms WAC - Women's Army Corps - WAVE - Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service - WAF - Women in the Air Force - and so on, are used in the context of the times. We were called by those acronyms from the 1940s until the separate women's branches were eliminated in the mid 1970s. The First to Receive Pensions for Military Service Contrary to slanted opinions about women there is a long historical precedent for women in some form of warfare - though not always in a uniform. For the early pioneer women "home defense" was as routine as drawing well water. And in the Revolutionary decade the first known woman to serve was awarded the first pension for her service. Margaret Corbin fought with her husband at Fort Washington and in 1779 Congress voted her a disability pension of one half a soldiers pay and one suit of clothes or the equivalent in cash.

18. American Women In Uniform, Veterans Too! Military women military women in history from the revolutionary war to present day. information about combat issues, current women veterans issues, and extensive information http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb/

Welcome to the home of the skeptical, irascible, doubting, iconoclastic Captain Critical, aka Captain Barb, whose pontificating will try to amuse, bemuse, irritate and generally annoy anyone bold enough to stay long enough to read the ramblings of a self appointed distaff critic who will continue to remind you that women are veterans too! Did you know that there are almost two million women veterans? From the American Revolution to Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq , women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War Two. During the Korean era 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand were deployed in theater during Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women - over forty thousand of them. On these pages you will find the history and accomplishments of those women who have served this country - voluntarily - since it's beginning.

19. Independent - April 21, 2004: Documentary Views Navajo Women In Military Documentary views Navajo women in military. By Pamela G. Dempsey Din Bureau. WINDOW ROCK — She wasn't the first servicewoman to come home from Iraq, but Spc. http://www.gallupindependent.com/2004/04apr04/042104documentary.html

Documentary views Navajo women in military By Pamela G. Dempsey "We did our mission and we came back home," Platero told the council Tuesday morning. "I'm so overwhelmed right now." Platero serves in the 82nd Airborne Division. She is planning her third tour of duty next February but will reside in Ft. Bragg, NC until then. She is the mother of three, including a set of five-year old twins and is from Fort Defiance. "As a female being out there doing a man's job, that's very impressive," said Delegate Leslie Deal. His sentiments are not uncommon. "The hardest part about being (in the service as a female) is having to compete against the males," Platero said. "A lot of them look (down on us)." Navajo women who served before her feel the same. In an ongoing effort to capture the stories of Navajo veterans for a documentary, ArtReachInternational, a non-profit organization who is sponsoring the project, found that many Navajo women faced the same issues Platero did when they served in the forties, sixties, and seventies. "The military was unfair to women in a lot of equality issues...it was totally outside their culture," said Angela Barney-Nez in September when the project was just getting underway. "It was not a cooperative setting, it was a competitive setting."
