Forgotten Warriors: The Long History of Women in Combat

Why was it possible for the US to have women astronauts thirty years before women in combat? The answer, Sarah Percy argues, is that a faulty recollection of military history apparently demonstrated that women had never been in (or anywhere near) combat. In her new book, Forgotten Warriors, Percy demonstrates that women were in fact common actors on the battlefields of history, explains why and when they disappeared from those battlefields, and how they fought their way back into combat roles. Her goal is to demonstrate how combatant women are not just historical exceptions, but part of the warp and weft of military history.
