Has opening new skills and units been enough to create equal opportunities for women in the U.S. military? Success has been mixed, in part because of the circumstances of individual occupations, and some issues affect men as much as they do women. This volume supplies supporting data for the analysis presented in the companion volume, The Status of Gender Integration in the Military: Analysis of Selected Occupations.

Nottingham’s long, rich and colourful history has encompassed far more than Robin Hood, lace, Luddites and Lawrence; bikes, baccy and Brian Clough. Founded as an Anglian settlement on the north side of the River Trent, Nottingham’s royal castle placed it at the crossroads of England and English history through the medieval centuries and during the English civil war. The industrial revolution presented major social problems for what had been a much admired, compact, Georgian country town. In time, Nottingham overcame them and developed into a prosperous industrial centre. Its status was rec
