The women's movement is newly resurgent, and feminists are summarily reviled as \"libbers.\" Inette Miller is one year out of college--a reporter for a small-town newspaper. Her boyfriend gets drafted and is issued orders to Vietnam. Within their few remaining days together, Inette marries her US Army private, determined to accompany him to war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are obstacles. All wives of US military are prohibited in-country. With the aid of her newspaper's editor, Miller finagles a one-month work visa and becomes a war reporter. Her newspaper cannot afford life insurance beyond that. After thirty days, she is on her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs one of the rare woman war correspondents in Vietnam and the only one also married to an Army soldier, Miller's experience was pathbreaking. \u003ci\u003eGirls Don't\u003c\/i\u003e shines a light on the conflicting motives that drive an ambitious woman of that era and illustrates the schizophrenic struggle between the forces of powerful feminist ideology and the contrarian forces of the world as it was. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGirls Don't\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of what happens when a twenty-three-year-old feminist makes her way into the land of machismo. This is a war story, a love story, and an open-hearted confessional within the burgeoning women's movement, chronicling its demands and its rewards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Inette Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682832473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682832479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Tech University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Inette Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640958636287,"sku":"9781682832479","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fe521f3-87e4-4fc2-a80c-d470f94f5ff6.jpg?v=1740670946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/girls-dont-inette-miller-9781682832479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
