Soldier Girls follows the experiences of three women in the Indiana National Guard -- one a young college student, one a single mother, and one a grandmother -- who chose to enlist for different reasons, never expecting they would go to war. Though quite far apart in age and in their political views, the three women become close friends, and through their daily interaction we see how military service changes their relationships with their families, their lovers, and their children. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women soldiers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Women $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Women $z United States $v Biography. 610 10 $a Indiana. $b National Guard $v Biography. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Campaigns. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Campaigns. 650 0 $a Women veterans $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Single mothers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $z Indiana $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202094348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58C9F01EB37A11E59CA8ADAFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
