From the first women in the military in World War II to the final push in the 1990s, The Fly Girls Revolt chronicles the actions of a band of women who overcame decades of discrimination and prevailed against bureaucrats, chauvinists, anti-feminists, and even other military women. Drawing on extensive research, interviews with women who served in the 1970s and 1980s, and her personal experiences in the Air Force, Eileen Bjorkman weaves together a riveting tale of the women who fought for the right to enter combat and be treated as equal partners in the U.S. military"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-251) and index. 650 0 $a Women in combat $z United States. 650 0 $a Women air pilots $z United States. 650 0 $a Air pilots, Military $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Women. $x Women. 941 $a 5 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022257.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031925.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230831010241.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012833.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230802010604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F07203800B4111EEB112B7654DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
