Kate Adie - as the BBC's Chief News Correspondent - has reported from war zones around the world and has been around people in uniform much of her working life. Uniform is universally seen as both a stamp of authority and of official acceptance. But the sight of a woman in military uniform still provokes controversy.
In this book, Kate looks at the image of the uniformed woman in the twentieth century and the extraordinary range of jobs uniformed women have performed in a century which, for them, began restricted in corsets and has ended on the battlefield in camouflage.
