Hiding in Plain Sight: Women Warriors throughout Time and Space
takes the many, long-standing dimensions of military history,
including the various modalities of warfare across cultures and
periods, and integrates them with the more recent and very
substantial contributions of social history, women's history, black
history, feminist theory, LGBTQ community, and other perspectives.
By providing an extensive annotated bibliography of the new
findings, the work provides the reader with an exciting compilation
of new knowledge placed within a longstanding military historical
framework, one which provides a broader study and understanding of
warfare into which to put the very recent, disparate findings
culled from many disciplines. The work reaffirms that women have
long been deeply embedded in the practice of warfare, not simply as
victims or minor curiosities, but as important actors - tactically,
strategically, in combat and directing warfare from afar - just as
their male counterparts. The concomitant amalgam also shows that
certain types and patterns of warfare such as the defense of
castles and fortresses, commanding a ship or a fleet, revolutionary
warfare and today's drone and cyber-forms of warfare have been more
conducive to female activity than other forms of warfare, even as
women are also present in a wider variety of other broader temporal
and geographical dimensions of the history of warfare. Hiding in
Plain Sight is the only extensive annotated bibliography currently
available which provides such a holistic overview of recent
scholarship by grounding that scholarship in the existing military
canon and history.
