The article focuses on three books. "Breaking Out: VMI and the Coming of Women," by Laura Fairchild Brodie, "The Kinder, Gentler Military: Can America's Gender-Neutral Fighting Force Still Win Wars?," by Stephanie Gutmann, "In Glory's Shadow: Shannon Faulkner, the Citadel and a Changing America," by Catherine Manegold. "In Glory's Shadow," offers an impressionist history of the school and its historical and cultural context as a citadel of Southern honor and male privilege. "The Kinder, Gentler Military," Gutmann argues that the costs of gender integration have been far greater than the benefits.
