In America, the achievements, defeats, and glory of war are traditionally ascribed to men. Women, however, have been an integral part of our country's military history from the very beginning. This unprecedented encyclopedia explores the accomplishments and actions of the "fairer sex" in the various conflicts in which the United States has fought.

An Encyclopedia of American Women at War: From the Home Front to the Battlefields contains entries on all of the major themes, organizations, wars, and biographies related to the history of women and the American military. The book traces the evolution of their roles—as leaders, spies, soldiers, and nurses—and illustrates women's participation in actions on the ground as well as in making the key decisions of developing conflicts. From the colonial conflicts with European powers to the current War on Terror, coverage is comprehensive, with material organized in an easy-to-use, A–Z, ready-reference format.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

A ban on women in combat roles has been in place since 1994. However, in January 2013, then secretary of defense Leon Panetta announced that the Pentagon would begin a move toward the integration of women into the military’s combat units. Women have found themselves on the front lines many times, and this action will make reality into policy. An Encyclopedia of American Women at War is a timely publication as the military begins planning this major policy shift with regard to women in combat. This two-volume encyclopedia includes more than 300 signed entries on individual women, specific professions, organizations, court cases and laws, military policies, wars, branches of the military, American ethnic and racial groups, and places. Each entry contains a list of references and further readings, and most have see also references. Women profiled in this encyclopedia have done extraordinary things, such as disguising themselves as men to be able to fight, serving as spies, driving ambulances in combat zones, and piloting helicopters and airplanes as well as pioneering work in defense-industry factories; their stories are well told in this encyclopedia. An introductory essay provides a brief summary of American women and their roles on the home front and on the battlefields. A chronology lists events and defining moments from 1676 to 2012. The set also includes a comprehensive bibliography, a categorical index, a general index, and a list of contributors. This would be an excellent purchase for high-school, academic, and public libraries. --Kaye Talley

Booklist

"Written by leading American history scholars, this two-volume encyclopedia is an excellent resource for anyone interested in women's contributions to the American military from Colonial times through the recent war on terrorism. . . . This set provides a walk-through history with women warriors as it explores their amazing accomplishments in a variety of conflicts and wars, via entries that include organizations, biographies, and women's roles as spies, soldiers, and nurses. The extensive bibliography and easy-to-use A to Z format provide researchers with many areas from which to launch further explorations. Photographs and illustrations enhance this interesting work."
