       American women's experiences in the Gulf Wars -- Why we

520    Since the American Revolution, African American women have
       served in every U.S. military conflict. Despite this 
       dedicated service to their country, very little empirical 
       research has been published regarding African American 
       servicewomen, including those who have served in the Gulf 
       Wars. Seen through the eyes of eleven African American 
       servicewomen, this book explores issues such as health 
       care, child care, sexism/sexual harassment, racism, 
       religion, military promotions/career advancement, and 
       serving in combat zones. Their stories illuminate the 
       types of professional, sociological, and interpersonal 
       experiences black servicewomen have encountered during 
       their time in the Gulf Wars.--Publisher description.
