"Looks at how women in the armed forces deal with perceived conflicts between femininity and being a good soldier through active strategies that accentuate or play down perceptions of masculinity and femininity. . . . Goes a long way toward showing how this distorting pressure impedes the true integration of women and men."
"--Choice"

""Working with interview data and with 285 surveys completed by veterans andactive-duty personnel, Herbert shows how military women often adjust their language, dress, hairstyles, comportment, activities, and other characteristics in an effort to shape how they are perceived.""
"--The Chronicle of Higher Education"

"The book would serve as a valuable undergraduate text to introduce students to martial gender issues."
--"Sexualities 4"

Drawing on surveys and interviews with almost 300 female military personnel, Melissa Herbert explores how women's everyday actions, such as choice of uniform, hobby, or social activity, involve the creation and re-creation of what it means to be a woman, and particularly a woman soldier. Do women feel pressured to be "more masculine," to convey that they are not a threat to men's jobs or status and to avoid being perceived as lesbians? She also examines the role of gender and sexuality in the maintenance of the male-defined military institution, proposing that, more than sexual harassment or individual discrimination, it is the military's masculine ideology--which views military service as the domain of men and as a mechanism for the achievement of manhood--which serves to limit women's participation in the military has increased dramatically. In the wake of armed conflict involving female militarypersonnel and several sexual misconduct scandals, much attention has focused on what life is like for women in the armed services. Few, however, have examined how these women negotiate an environment that has been structured and defined as masculine.

Neuro Typical is a free-flowing autobiographical account - an ongoing story of what it is like for an already obtuse family to live around mental illness, relentlessly. Prompted by a 24-year-old son's comment, "Mum, you have no idea how privileged you are not to have mental illness", the author decided to write, in real time, a journey as a family today, the voyage an ongoing plethora of peculiarity, since two of "Ned's" other brothers in the household are autistic to boot. Neuro Typical is an intentional unstructured diary, and includes memories of the past, which counterbalance the "live" accounts which dart in and out as the brothers interrupt their mother as she writes. The life experiences and perspectives of the participants reveal a complicated and unusual family set-up, the coping mechanisms, and the stances adopted, some organic, others knee-jerk reactions, that have helped to create a sense of normalcy to the four brothers at least, to combat the outside world. As a family, they inhabit a place where expectations have had to shift constantly, where conforming became anathema. Ned, who has been ill with severe mental illness for over 10 years since a pre-teen, is the most vocal of the boys, as he vehemently darts in and out of the narrative in inverted commas, partly, in reality, from the nature of his obsessive illness. His voice tells the inside story; what it is like to live within his own head, his experiences of hospitalisation and "sections", the medication, and then just being a boy with such a label and all that entails. Just being a boy. Neuro Typical is written against the backdrop of the internet age, social media and all it offers, with both positive and negative outcomes, where even buying online has its consequences, and within a confusing enough world where parents and offspring are attempting to meet in an ever-developing technological era.
