About this listen

Women who changed the face of war: Discover the fascinating histories of women who overcame prejudices, destroyed obstacles, and paved the way for female marines in the US.

Today, only 8 percent of the officers in the marines are women.

We consider that an amazing accomplishment, even though it might not seem sufficient.

But there’s no denying it--the Marine Corps, the last all-male fortification of the US military, has finally accepted that which they couldn’t deny any longer: Women can enlist, train, and combat with exceptional results.

In April 2021, after completing the Crucible, one of the hardest challenges ever devised, pushing marine recruits to their physical and psychological limits, female marines left the field carrying men across their shoulders.

They earned their rightful place among the marines just as much as their male counterparts.

But it took us a long way to get here, to be seen as equals.

The history of women in the marines has never been thoroughly researched. There are numerous stories and books about brave marine men who were bigger than life on the battlefield and in military action.

But the stories of women who did the same are incredibly rare.

The History of Women in the Marines explores the many firsts that women accomplished when they served--from the first woman to enlist in WW1 to the modern-day struggles female marines go through to ensure their acceptance in the ranks.

If you’re looking to enlist yourself, or you’re just interested in the fascinating histories of these female pioneers, you’ve come to the right place.
