From the Paper:

"Since its victory in the American Revolution, in 1783, the United States of America has continued to fight in wars both domestic and abroad. While women were not legally considered soldiers until recently, American women have always been present on the battlefield. While many served in non-combat roles, many fought right in the trenches, even if it meant disguising themselves as men."
