Cover reveal! I am beyond excited for this book. Contributions from an amazing array of scholars have come together into a banger of a book. Even if it feels far away, we should all be paying attention to the assumptions that underlie systems of conscription as well as the consequences. #milhist 🗃️

Attention scholars of Texas history @karadixonvuic.bsky.social

From #AHAPerspectives in 2022: In 1970, US Air Force nurse Susan Struck had to choose between an abortion or losing her job. @karadixonvuic.bsky.social writes about how including the military in our histories of abortion complicate the story of "choice" today. 🗃️

The Better Roe – AHA

When Susan Struck fought being discharged for pregnancy from the US Air Force, it brought the right to choose into a different light.
