Description

Author Erin Solaro describes the role of women serving in combat units in the U.S. military, and advocates for full and open inclusion.  As part of her research, Solaro has spent time embedded with combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has conducted interviews with military policy analysts and veterans.   She argues that the debate is no longer about women serving in combat—something that is already occurring—but why, how, to what degree, and what it means for the military as well as civil society.
