Naval History and Heritage Command

From a Yeoman (F) in WWI to an aviator, from a sailor to an admiral, this exhibition features works of art from the Navy Art Collection that depict female Navy military personnel.  Women have had a continuous and growing presence in the U.S. Navy throughout the 20th and into 21st century.  Whenever international or domestic events dictated the need, the Navy expanded its opportunities for women to serve.  These artworks demonstrate the wide-ranging and varied occupations women have held as they continue to push the boundaries of prospects available to them.
