Présentation de l'éditeur :
Biographie de l'auteur :
Uniform is universally seen as both a stamp of authority and of official acceptance. But the sight of a woman in military uniform still provokes controversy. Although more women are now taking prominent roles in combat, the status implied by uniform is often regarded as contrary to the general perception of womanhood.
In association with the Imperial War Museum, this is the first book to look at the image of uniformed women, both in conflict and in civilian roles throughout the twentieth century. Kate Adie examines the extraordinary range of jobs that uniformed women have performed, from nursing to the armed services. Through contemporary correspondence and many personal stories she brings the enormous and often unsung achievements of women in uniform vividly to life, and looks at how far women have come in a century which, for them, began restricted in corsets and has ended on the battlefield in camouflage.
Kate Adie became a household name through her work as the BBC`s chief news correspondent, reporting major stories and from war zones around the world. She has won numerous awards including two Royal Television Society awards, the Bafta Richard Dimbleby Award, and the Broadcasting Press Guild`s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting. She was awarded an OBE in 1993.
Kate Adie presents From Our Own Correspondent on BBC Radio 4 and is the author of several bestselling books.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. 26 x 20 cm-" Uniform is universally seen as both a stamp of authority and of official acceptance.

Although more women are now taking prominent roles in combat, the status implied by uniform is often regarded as contrary to the general perception of womanhood. In association with the Imperial War Museum, this is the first book to look at the image of uniformed women, both in conflict and in civilian roles throughout the twentieth century.

First Edition. Introduction by author, source notes, bibliography and sources, index and photo acknowledgments. Tan colored end pages. The text is illustrated with historical black-and-white and sepia toned photographs, reproductions of recruitment posters, documents and the odd colored photograph. Green colored boards with gilt colored titles to the backstrip. In this book the author traces the history of military involvement of women from throughout history (usually surreptitiously, unless they were nursing the wounded), through to the change of enlistment through the Crimean, World War I and beyond; and the changing roles that women gained. The book ends with modern time with female pilots, front-line fighters.". N° de réf. du vendeur 015865
