Have you heard if more veterans groups for women are being formed?<br /><br />I changed the quote at the top of my blog to the one you used at the beginning of your book. It takes something special to make me change it from Kipling! That one certainly is. : )<br /><br />According to you research, would it be fair to say that women in Guard and Reserve units faced greater harassment and discrimination?<br /><br />The stories of these women are incredible. You really capture their strength and personalities. <br />One can only hope that their stories lead to positive change.<br /><br />Thanks for the visit to my tiny little piece of the internet.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880529379335490026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981925299479932545.post-92122792777351123542010-02-02T06:11:35.198-08:002010-02-02T06:11:35.198-08:00Thank you for this review.

That is a misreading of my book.<br /><br />In fact, I found most of the women I interviewed through a network of military friends. Most of the women I talked to did not belong to any veteran groups.<br /><br />The rate of sexual assault in the military has not improved since this book was published, despite DoD reforms. Alas.<br /><br />H. Benedict, the authorHelen Benedicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928621210420298798noreply@blogger.com
