General Ann Dunwoody, the first woman to achieve the rank of four-star general, earned her promotion in 2008, 60 years after women were first admitted to the military on a permanent basis. Even today, policies and legislation keep women from pursuing certain types of jobs like ground combat positions, making it difficult for more women to attain the highest ranks.
Darlene M. Iskra, CDR, USN (ret.), Ph.D., earned her doctorate in sociology from the University of Maryland, College Park, specializing in the military and gender, work and family. Dr. Iskra is a retired Navy commander and has the distinction of being the first woman in the Navy to command a ship.
