{"product_id":"arms-and-the-woman-the-shattered-glass-ceiling-9789393499325","title":"Arms and the Woman: The Shattered Glass Ceiling","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom prehistoric to modern times, all cultures have unfailingly discriminated against women. Social norms of the male-dominated societies had confined them to household chores and had restrained them from venturing into other fields - the profession of arms being one of them. The glass ceiling was firmly in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet, lost in the pages of history are the daring deeds of warrior queens and female soldiers who had defied the well-entrenched conventions of their times. In the olden times, women had also supported war efforts informally as the 'Camp Followers'. However, it was only in the Armenian War of 1853-56 that a batch of nurses, under Florence Nightingale, formally entered the war zone. From then, to the post-World War-II period, women took a century to incrementally prove their abilities and relevance among those who bear arms. Now they are there in armed constabularies, para-military forces, and militaries across the globe. They are also there in the 'grey zone' conflicts as insurgents, terrorists, and suicide bombers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book traces how women, with their determined zeal and rising aspirations, have steadily overcome centuries of unfair restraints to shatter the glass ceiling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vij Books India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789393499325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Maj Gen V.
