For more than two hundred years, women have served in the American Armed Forces in various capacities, aiding their country when they could not enlist themselves. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law, officially allowing women to serve as full, permanent members of all branches of the military, though they could not yet serve in direct combat. Just a decade ago, in 2013, the ban on women in combat was lifted, allowing them to serve in direct combat roles. This book is an absorbing account of the contributions and experiences of a dozen women serving in the military in recent decades. Photojournalist Steven Clevenger met the women on his various assignments covering wars overseas and at their home bases in the United States, as well as through the Warrior Games and other programs for veterans. Pairing powerful photographs with interviews, Clevenger intimately captures each soldier's strength, vulnerability, and resilience, creating a poignant and heartfelt body of work that is sure to inspire anyone.
