Moving Beyond G.I. Jane Summary

Moving Beyond G.I. Jane: Women and the U.S. Military by Sara L. Zeigler

Moving Beyond G.I. Jane makes an essential contribution to the existing literature on the role of women in the military. The authors offer detailed analyses of current debates over integrating women into combat roles and the proper approach to confronting sexual harassment with the ranks. Each chapter includes concrete recommendations as to how the services should confront and manage these serious personnel problems. A survey of ROTC cadets provides additional data on the attitudes of future leaders. The book also identifies important ways in which female personnel can enhance effectiveness as the military adjusts to its changing role in the twenty-first century, particularly in peacekeeping operations.

Moving Beyond G.I. Jane Reviews

Zeigler and Gunderson argue that the fundamental issue is not just one of fairness to women. It is, rather, one of military effectiveness. Modern operations include peacekeeping missions and work with refugees, tasks that demand skills women often possess. The authors do not underestimate the challenges of integrating women fully into the military, and they include specific, detailed policy recommendations. This work is a valuable addition to the literature on women's military service and should be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars.Summing Up: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. All academic levels/libraries. -- R. A. Standish, University of Maryland, University College * CHOICE *
