This is the first book to document the story of women doctors in the military. Beginning with the Civil War, when there were fewer than 250 female doctors in the U.S., to the present, this book traces the efforts of female physicians to serve their country on the same basis as their male counterparts–and considers the reasons these efforts have fallen short.
