Hiding in Plain Sight: Women Warriors throughout Time and Space

Hiding in Plain Sight integrates military history, social history, women's history, black history, feminist theory, LGBTQ community, and other perspectives to provide a broader study and understanding of warfare. It reaffirms that women have been deeply embedded in the practice of warfare, not simply as victims or minor curiosities, but as important actors. The book also shows that certain types and patterns of warfare have been more conducive to female activity than other forms, and that women are present in a wider variety of other broader temporal and geographical dimensions of the history of warfare.
