Women’s roles in the military have always served as a case for controversy, and women continue to struggle not only for equality of positions and duties, but to surpass barriers that lead to promotion, which sometimes cannot be achieved unless access to certain positions are granted.
Many of us question how this can even be an issue in the 21st Century Western world, where women assume an array of powerful and influential roles. The cold, hard truth is women are not yet given the same opportunities in the military as men. The issue, however, is being addressed and laws are slowly being passed to change this.
