      abstract = {This book investigates challenges to the U.S. militarys  gender regime of hetero-male privilege. Examining a broad  set of discursive maneuvers in a series of cases as focal  points--integration of open homosexuality, the end of the  combat ban on women, and the epidemic nature of military  sexual assault within its units--Stephanie Szitanyi  examines the contemporary link between gender and military  service in the United States, and comprehensively analyzes  forms of gendering produced by the military as an  institution. Using feminist interpretivist methods to  analyze an impressive combination of visual, textual,  archival, and cultural materials, the book argues that  despite policy changes since 2013 that may be positioned as  explicit episodes of degendering, military officials have  simultaneously moved to counteract them and reinforce the  institutions gender regime of hetero-male privilege.  Importantly, these (re)gendering processes continue to  prioritize certain forms of service and sacrifice, through  which a specific version of masculinity--the masculine  warrior--is continuously promoted, preserved, and cemented.  Stephanie Szitanyi is Assistant Dean in the Schools of  Public Engagement at The New School, USA. Her research  focuses on female political representation, gender  relations in military institutions, and the militarization  of American culture.},
