Prior to the war in Iraq, women soldiers were not allowed in the direct line of fire. With women now on the front lines, let's discuss the idea of "protective legislation.” This concept developed during the Progressive Era of the early 20th century and addressed women's work conditions in the workplace. Basically, many "moderate" women's advocates during the Progressive era, knowing that women were in the workplace to stay, compromised by hoping to limit the kinds of activities that women could be involved in, placing regulations against more dangerous jobs that would, for example, expose women of childbearing age to dangerous chemicals or other perilous work conditions. Protective legislation has always been one of those hot buttons in women's history, which has polarized women's advocates. Do women need special consideration—protection—in the workplace because of their childbearing and maternal uniqueness or otherwise "fragile" nature (to use an outdated 19th century rationale)? Or does protective legislation simply serve as a guise to further limit women's opportunities and advancement to better paying jobs? The military is one of those very visible workplaces in which women have struck down—or are trying to strike down-- such protective limitations. Many of you, of course, can answer this question from first-hand experience. In our more “modern” wars, the lines have been blurred between what is considered to be the front line. But these are questions that all of us must consider. Should women be on the front lines—or in situations of obvious danger? Do they risk even greater peril than male combatants if, for example, they are taken prisoner? Should women have "protective legislation" to limit their roles in combat? Also, should both parents be deployed to combat at the same time? We know that in the early years of the Iraq war this was the case and in one incident a woman soldier refused to return to Iraq because her husband was also there and she was concerned about their children. Should single mothers be sent to combat?  If so, what role does the military have in the long-term care of the children?
