  • Description: This anthology opens with several compelling first-personnarratives of life inside the U.S. military institution, followedby analyses by both military and civilian researchers. Theacademic contributors approach their topics from differentdisciplines, including political science, history, sociology, andliterature/film. The volume seeks to bridge the gap betweenthose inside the institution and those on the outside (p. ix).The effort to build this bridge began with a series ofspecialized conferences and workshops on gender and mili-tary culture spanning the 1990s. I participated in several ofthese and heard some of the contributors to this collectionpresent their research. Other volumes that developed fromthe conferences are Mary Fainsod Katzenstein's Faithful andFearless (1998), Mary Fainsod Katzenstein and Judith Reppy,Beyond Zero Tolerance (1999), and Francine D'Amico andLaurie Weinstein, Gender Camouflage (1999).
