Offers a detailed history of the employment of women in the Israeli military over four periods -- 1907-49, 1949-73, 1973-85 and 1985-98. "Contrary to legend it is simply not true that Israeli women have been given opportunities equal to those of men or been allowed to enter combat... western feminists out for greater opportunities for women in the military, who would use the IDF as a model, had better look elsewhere" (p97).
