They served under Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose in the Indian National Army. Because the creation of an Indian all-female regiment of combat soldiers was a radical military innovation in 1943, and because the role of women in today's broader context of Indian culture has become a prevalent and pressing issue, the extensive testimony of the surviving veterans of this unit is timely and urgent. The history of these brave women soldiers is little known, their extraordinary service and the role played by Bose remains largely unexplored."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, Female 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zBurma 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, Female. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 676 $a954.035092 700 $aHildebrand$b Vera$01655265 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810437603321 996 $aWomen at war$94007577 997 $aUNINA
