Book Title: Does Khaki Become You?

Author: Cynthia Enloe

Selection Statement:

Cynthia Enloe's books have acted as a touchstone for any person interested in the roles women play in the nation-building process. This book "Does Khaki Become You? The Militarization of Women's Lives" in particular was quite inspirational to me when I was writing my Ph.D. dissertation. It is one of the first books I give my Penn State graduate students to read and although written in 1983 is true to the state of the world today.
