“This compendium of women’s bravery and accomplishments is a
compelling read of firsthand accounts in U.S. military conflicts.
No American woman should raise her right hand and swear to ‘support
and defend’ without these haunting voices urging her to walk the
trail where few have gone. Every American history syllabus
should include this book as a requirement. A true
inspiration!”—Maj. Gen. Dee Ann McWilliams, U.S. Army
(Ret.), president of Women in Military Service for America
“Jerri Bell and Tracy Crow have done a great literary service with
this book—for too long, the courage and gallantry of American women
on the battlefield has gone unnoticed. This is vital, superb
reading.”—Matt Gallagher, author of Youngblood
“This meticulously researched book . . . allows women to speak for
themselves about their experiences in American military service. It
echoes with voices of many thousands of their sisters in
arms.”—Margaret Vining, curator of Armed Forces History for the
National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
