Description
WINNER OF THE 2017 ASPA SECTION ON PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION AND LABOR RELATIONS OUTSTANDING BOOK AWARD!
This research and policy book examines the role of women in the military and the overwhelming evidence to date that warranted repealing the combat exclusion policy. It explores the following questions:
How can the success of women in the military serve as justification for its repeal?
What will be the potential impact of repealing the policy on the recruitment, promotion and retention of women in the military?
How will repealing the combat exclusion policy change the ways in which military men relate to military women?
How can repealing the policy set women on the course toward full agency and representation as full citizens in American society at large?
Not only will this book help in filling the gaps of the existing literature of public administration and public policy about women in the military but it will provide the personal insights of women who have served under the combat exclusion policy.
