Abstract | Can you name several well-known military personnel throughout U.S. history? When hearing this question, most people may begin reciting names like George Washington, Ulysses Grant, George Patten, or Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., who all happen to be men. When thinking about the U.S. military historically, we tend to imagine that it is a man's world. While men continue to dominate our military, women have also been quick to put on a uniform and helped defend U.S. soil since the birth of the nation. However, both society and academia have failed to represent women's contributions to the war effort in a well-rounded way. Most people still do not know much about "herstory" at war. To emphasize the importance of teaching herstory at war in the elementary social studies classrooms, this article provides rich examples of children's literature about women who have served in the U.S. military and teaching ideas for how to include the voices and experiences of women service members.
