List of women military historians

This is a list of women military historians. Traditionally an overwhelmingly male-dominated discipline,[1] women began entering the field with the turn towards the 'new military history' of the 1960s. Pioneering women military historians included Joanna Bourke and Amanda Foreman, who contributed to re-orientating military history towards a "multidisciplinary approach that embeds war in its political, social, cultural and personal contexts".[2] However, women remain under-represented in academic military history.[3]

Moreover, military history is a remarkably male field, both in that we study institutions that have been overwhelmingly male and in that women are underrepresented among military historians as a group. The uncharitable might claim that as opposed to women's history, military history is men's history par excellence.
