Women constitute about 13% of the US Navy's active-duty force and include jet pilots, admirals, commanding officers of ships and aircraft, and astronauts. This history of women in the Navy begins with the Yeoman (F) of WWI and concludes in the present day. Emphasis is on the Navy's struggle to accept change and women's struggles to be accepted by the Navy. The history of Navy nurses is not covered. This edition has been updated to include the recent integration of Navy women into crews of combatant ships and tactical aviation squadrons. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
