摘要：Women have been serving in militaries the world over for over a century. They have excelled in supportive roles in military health,logistics,education,and aviation. Although history has inspiring tales of intrepid women warriors,by and large women have been victims rather than perpetrators of war for centuries. It is only in the last half a century or so that women have entered the battlefields. Russia used an all-women combat unit in the First World War to offset a deficiency in male combatants. In the Second World War,Soviet women aviators,nicknamed as the “Night Witches,” made history when they bombarded enemy lines after dusk. The Algiers War of Independence would not have been won if women had not stepped in to replace the depleted Army.
