Minerva's Bookshelf
The MINERVA Center, Inc. began its book publication program in 1993.
We currently have three titles in print and plan to expand our book
list as soon as funds become available. Many outstanding manuscripts in
the field of women's military studies have trouble finding mainstream
publishers. Feminist presses dislike military topics, and military
presses dislike women in military roles.
Although MINERVA cannot publish as many books as we would like to, the
Center supports writers, small presses and self-publishers working on
manuscripts dealing with women in war or women and the military. Tell us about your books!
