Women In The Armed Forces

Available for over a year

Research suggests the presence of women damages the morale and cohesion of combat units. An anthropologist and two woman soldiers discuss this. Also on the programme: A school magazine called Firefly provides a fascinating insight into the world of wealthy young Italian women at the beginning of the 20th Century. And a Bosnian woman from Mostar in Bosnia and Herzogovina talks about returning with her husband after the conflict, to find a segregated city where they are forced to live on the East Bank, the opposite side from their former flat.
