When I heard Leon Panetta's announcement about lifting the combat restrictions on women in the military, I immediately thought of former Army National Guard Sergeant Paigh Bumgarner. Bumgarner had deployed to Iraq, where she had served as a convoy gunner in a unit that came under fire. "Once we got through," Bumgarner recalls, "they tried to hit us with a VBED [vehicle-borne explosive device], but I ordered 'No one gets close to this convoy, so it was taken out, a confirmed kill." Bumgarner told me, in a interview for my book, When Janey Comes Marching Home: Portraits of Women Combat Veterans, that she put the remains of her best friend in a body bag. She got the medics to bandage up the soldiers who had sustained shrapnel damage. As she recalls, "I remember during the craziness of everything, the first sergeant [we were escorting] came up and tried to take over, and I was like, 'I'm in control of this convoy….After that, all the guys were like, 'I'll go anywhere with you. I'll follow you anywhere.'"

Drawing on interviews with 100 women soldiers about their experiences in combat, this text asks what insights are gained when we take women's experiences in war as our starting point instead of treating them as 'add-ons' to more fundamental or mainstream levels of analysis, and what importance these experiences hold for an analysis of violence and for security studies. The work provides different perspectives about why it is important to explore women in combat, what their experiences teach us, and how to consider soldiers and veterans both as citizens and as violent state actors - an issue with which scholars are often reluctant to engage.
