Serving Proudly: A History of Women in the U.S. Navy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best books on women in the navy that I have found. Well researched and written, this book explores the varied and ever-changing roles women have held in the United States Navy. Godson's book inspired me to do further research on the WAVES, which has led to my master's thesis. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the entire navy, not just the "man's navy" which so many history books focus on. Godson brings to life those brave women who charted the way for women in the navy-their struggles and successes, their incredible accomplishments in a military where they were often greeted with ambivalence or outright hostility. This book also explores the challenges facing women in today's navy (and military).
