- Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the history of women's contributions to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the obstacles they have encountered. It emphasizes the often overlooked and diverse roles that women have played in the military, ranging from nursing in conflicts like the Boer Wars and World Wars to assuming clerical and logistical positions during the Second World War. The article also examines the advancements made in gender integration within the military, including the removal of restrictions on women's service and the expansion of available positions. However, it acknowledges that the military continues to grapple with issues such as sexual misconduct. The article aims to challenge conventional narratives and elevate the stories of women's contributions to the military. The author expresses gratitude for the support, patience, and hard work of others in creating the document, believing it will be valuable to readers as it was to the writers.
