The rights of pregnant workers as well as (the lack of) paid
maternity leave have increasingly become topics of a major policy
debate in the United States. Yet, few discussions have focused on
the U.S. military, where many of the latest policy changes focus on
these very issues. Despite the armed forces' increases to
maternity-related benefits, servicewomen continue to be stigmatized
for being pregnant and taking advantage of maternity policies. In
an effort to understand this disconnect, Megan McFarlane analyzes
military documents and conducts interviews with enlisted
servicewomen and female officers. She finds a policy/culture
disparity within the military that pregnant servicewomen themselves
often co-construct, making the policy changes significantly less
effective. McFarlane ends by offering suggestions for how these
policy changes can have more impact and how they could potentially
serve as an example for the broader societal debate.
