This film documents the roles of various women in U.S. military history, and how women are shaping the modern military.

It examines the subject through the eyes of 10 Colorado-based female veterans who served in the wars between World War II and the contemporary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and how those roles have changed.

Women began serving in the military with the beginning of the nation and the American Revolution, through roles as nurses, water bearers, cooks and laundresses. Roles changed in World War II, when women served as everything from service pilots to mechanics.

In 1948, women were permitted to become permanent members of the military. A quota capped women at two percent of the military through 1967, and it was not until last year that women served in combat.
