More women are serving in the United States military than ever before which means there are more female veterans than ever. Many of them saw combat in Afghanistan and Iraq and all of them have served in a military culture that is often hostile to women. Even though the formal ban on women in combat roles was lifted in 2013, some of this hostility still exists. Women veterans have also suffered from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and loss of limbs. Some are victims of sexual assault and many are homeless. Often, the women's stories are overshawdowed. This book follows more than a dozen women veterans as they struggle with the physical and psychological wounds of their military service.
