The work is derived from official documents and personal files, interviews, conversations, letters, newspaper articles, Internet access to research archives, and hundreds of email submissions from current and former Marines. The generation of women described in this history proved themselves in every clime and place, including in command and in combat. Women choose to be Marines for the same reasons as men: duty to country, opportunity, adventure, escaping hardship, or to grow as a person. This history takes us to the start of the twenty-first century.--Provided by publisher. 000845134 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bMarine Corps$$xWomen$$xHistory. 000845134 650_0 $$aWomen and the military$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000845134 650_0 $$aWomen marines. 000845134 7102_ $$aMarine Corps University (U.S.).$$bHistory Division,$$eissuing body. 000845134 85200 $$bgen$$hVE23$$i.A955$$i2017 000845134 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:845134$$pGLOBAL_SET 000845134 980__ $$aBIB 000845134 980__ $$aBOOK
