Sisters in arms : female warriors from antiquity to the new millennium / by Wheelwright, Julie,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-311) and index.A history of female combatants, from those who joined the military disguised as men to the current role of women in the armed forces. In October 2018, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson announced that all roles in the military would now be open to women. Although this marks a historic shift, officially allowing British women into combat roles, the presence of women on the front lines dates back to antiquity. Beginning with the founding myth of the Amazons--in reality female warriors of a nomadic tribe to whom the Greeks attributed super-heroic powers--Julie Wheelwright explores the history of women in arms. She traces our fascination with these figures, many of whom successfully disguised themselves as men, using primary sources and their own words to bring their experiences vividly to light. Among these forgotten heroines are Christian Davies, Ireland's most famous 18th-century soldier, who received poems from adoring women claiming that she represented a resurgence of "the Amazonian race"; Sarah Edmonds, who left her native Canada and was among hundreds of women to enlist on both sides during the American Civil War; Maria Bochkareva, a private in the Tsar's army and leader of the Women's Battalion of Death in 1917; and Captain Flora Sandes, hero of the Serbian Army, who toured Australia, thrilling her audiences with tales of bravery and patriotism. The book follows the evolution of women in combat, from the Scythian women who begat the Amazonian myth, to the passing women in the eighteenth century, and on to the re-emergence of women as proud members of the armed forces in various countries in the 20th and 21st centuries. The book also explores the formalization of women's military roles and questions the contemporary relationship between masculinity and combat.

Forgotten warriors : the long history of women in combat / by Percy, Sarah,1977-author.(CARDINAL)881400;
"From Boudicca to Ukraine, battlefields have always contained a surprising number of women. We may not know it, but the narrative of the battlefield as an exclusively male space has required active maintenance to preserve. Military history expert Sarah Percy sets the record straight, revealing the forgotten warriors who served on the battlefield: some fighting disguised as men, others mobilized in times of national survival, and many others serving essential non-combat functions on the front lines. As Percy reveals, the exclusion of women from positions of active combat only began a few hundred years ago: it's a brief blip in a much longer narrative of female inclusion. From ancient history through the medieval period, there were women who commanded troops themselves, who dressed as men to fight in wars around the world, and who provided significant logistical support on the battlefield. It was only in the late nineteenth century-as warfare became increasingly professionalized and nation-states began to formalize rules around combat-that women were placed firmly on the home front. The outbreak of World War I changed this policy again, as states found their resources pushed to the limit by the emergence of global, industrial warfare that required total social mobilization. By the end of the 20th century, women were once again on the battlefield around the world. Against a backdrop of sieges and desperate battles, rebellions and civil wars, a series of extraordinary women come alive on the page, determined not to be passive victims. Deeply researched and brilliantly told, Forgotten Warriors turns the notion of war as a men's game on its head, and restores women to their rightful place on the frontlines of history"--
