Of the two million Americans who have fought in America‘s wars since 2001, more than 220,000 of them, or 11 percent, have been women.

This quiet change has not come seamlessly - and it has altered military culture on the battlefield in ways large and small. Women need separate quarters and bathrooms. They face sexual discrimination, sexual assault and sexual trauma—counselors and rape kits are now common in war zones. War zone commanders also confront a new reality: despite General Orders regulating standards of conduct for U.S. troops, sexual relations and physical intimacy exist between servicemen and –women. Some women have been evacuated because they became pregnant while serving in a war zone. Nonetheless, as troops in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, women have done nearly as much in battle as their male counterparts: patrolled streets with machine guns, served as gunners on vehicles, disposed of explosives and driven trucks down bomb-ridden roads. They have proven indispensable in their ability to interact with and search Iraqi and Afghan women for weapons, a job that men cannot do for cultural reasons. The Marine Corps has created revolving units - ''lionesses'' - dedicated to just this task.

As women make strides in the military, they need a cohesive information resource to bind them together and provide a voice for the issues that they face. Over all, women say the gains they made in Iraq and Afghanistan have overshadowed the challenges they faced in a combat zone. MilitaryWoman.org looks to help women with the multitude of problems they face as they increase their role with our nation‘s armed forces. We have identified many key issues and our goal is to address these and help those in need. Military Women whether a active duty of our armed forces or a veteran need an active voice with real life information.

For fourteen years, Militarywoman.org has been a place where military women can enjoy camaraderie with other military women; meet military women from other services to broaden their perspective and knowledge; dispel stereotypes; and change paradigms. Site visitors can hear from female veterans sharing their experience and wisdom. It is also a preferred resource for keeping abreast of current women‘s issues in the US armed forces.

As we continue to face challenging roads ahead, we ask that you help support and build us. Our yearly membership fee is very affordable and will be used to help enhance our content and services.
