867.0. "The Woman Warrior" by SPMFG1::CHARBONND (generic personal name) Mon Jun 06 1988 13:58

    In the latest issue of New Destinies, the paperback SF
    magazine, is an excellent article on the history of
    women in warfare. It was written by way of rebutting
    an editor who rejected a novel on the grounds that 
    women are incapable of participating in warfare.
    
    The article covers much history and contemporary 
    military practice, showing that women have long been
    involved in warfare, and still are. 
    
    The article has an extensive list of references.

    It's wonderful to know that women are capable of committing the
    same atrocities as men.

867.3where? where?BLURB::RANDALLBonnie Randall SchutzmanTue Jun 07 1988 11:125
    Dana, where can I get an issue of this magazine?  My local
    bookstore didn't have it and my SF-groupie friend had never
    heard of it, either.

867.4With difficultyREGENT::BROOMHEADDon't panic -- yet.Tue Jun 07 1988 12:1711
    Lemme see now.  I think New Destinies is edited by Jim Baen, and
    it's that awkward hybrid one.  If it's the "magazine" I'm thinking
    of, it looks like a fat paperback original anthology, and each
    issue even has its own ISBN number instead of a magazine ISSN
    number, and it's comparatively hard to find.  (Suford & Tony have
    a copy, of course.)
    
    Can you tell that I've worked on the "NESFA Index to the Science
    Fiction Magazines and Original Anthologies"?

    Re .4 re.3   yep, that's the one. It's published quarterly,
    by Baen Books. Your local newsstand should be able to order it.
    Try WaldenBooks if there's one close by.

    You can get New Destinies at the Science/Fantasy Bookstore in
    Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA.
867.7what a dilemmaBLURB::RANDALLBonnie Randall SchutzmanTue Jun 07 1988 17:5811
    It will have to be something a lot more important than an article
    to get me into [shudder] Boston for [gag] shopping.
    
    If I have a publisher and like information I can probably get
    my bookstore to order it.  
    
    Unless some nice person who lives in Cambridge and works in
    Zpit Brook wants to pick up a copy for me?  I'll pay you back.

    re:.7
    
    Any reasonably well-stocked bookstore should have it. Try Lauriat's
    at Pheasant Lane Mall.
    
    Just remember to think of it (and ask for it) as a book anthology,
    not a magazine. It's really only a magazine to those of us who are
    (a) pedants, (b) collectors, (c) bibliographers, or (d) all of the
    above.
