My book with Oxford University Press is titled
"Hardship Duty" to recognize that the pervasive sexual violence servicewomen experience is “arduous,” "unhealthful," and "excessive physical hardship" which are the conditions outlined by the Department of Defense as deserving of hardship pay. My book uses interviews with 50 U.S. servicewomen to understand how sexual abuse remains highly prevalent in an organization that has dynamic policies, prevention strategies, and evolving education programs designed to combat sexual violence.
