Fascinating and beautifully written. Women in the Barracks is far more than a case study of a lawsuit. It offers unique insights into the evolution of gender roles in modern and postmodern America. LINDA GRANT DE PAUW, AUTHOR OF BATTLE CRIES AND LULLABIES: WOMEN IN WAR FROM PREHISTORY TO THE PRESENT An 'inside story' full of rich detail that illuminates both VMI's institutional history and one important strand in the modern women's movement. KENNETH L. KARST, AUTHOR OF LAW'S PROMISE, LAW'S EXPRESSION: VISIONS OF POWER IN THE POLITICS OF RACE, GENDER, AND RELIGION A generous-spirited, thoughtful, and thorough book that helps us think about the meanings of military traditions and the military choices we make in our own time. LINDA K. KERBER, AUTHOR OF NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BE LADIES: WOMEN AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF CITIZENSHIP
