1. Women, War, and the Military by Victoria Sherrow., academic Journal of Military History. Vol. 71, Iss. 4, October 23, 2007, pp. 1203-1210. The article reviews several books including "Women and War: A Historical Encyclopedia From Antiquity to the Present. It mentioned for the Second World War, 1,700 for the Civil War, but only 150 for “women and war,” “women and the military,” and “women soldiers”. Which means women used in combat but they do not have the chance join in the battlefield, they just can do some paper work, like photographer or officer.
