Soldier Girls

America has been at war since the fall of 2001, a matter of bitter political debate. Though this is incontestable, what is also true is that a sizable percentage of American soldiers sent overseas in this era have been women. In this book, Helen Thorpe—an award-winning, meticulously observant (The New Yorker), and masterful (Booklist) writer—explores the experience of women in the military in this era.
