This edition of Naval Institute Chronicles tells a significant portion of the evolutionary and revolutionary transition from the days of ""yeomanettes"" to today's Navy - where women command ships and wear admirals' stars.

“Women in the Navy – The History is an old-fashioned yet honest account of the introduction of woman at sea, providing an engaging and informative read. Although (unsurprisingly) suited for a female audience, anybody seeking a light-hearted approach to the subject matter (and with a penchant for amusing quips and anecdotes) will be delighted with this anthology. Well-structured from the start, it does not make any apologies for time sensitive or ‘dated’ comments. In fact, it embraces old school opinion and language in a way that adds considerably to the book’s overall appeal and character ... achieves what any good anthology should, it presents a broad range of information in a sympathetic manner while leaving the reader room to form his or her own opinion. Recommended.”—The Naval Review
