I can't recommend this Google doc enough, "Women in Military History." Yes, shock of all shocks, women are military historians, too.

what are your thoughts on Max Hastings piece from Bloomberg, "American Universities Declare War on Military History,"? What might war studies departments look like in U.S. universities?
“Military history is the most noxious of the ‘dead white male’ subjects, and there’s also a great falling away in the teaching of diplomatic, colonial and European political history” writes Sir Max Hastings
👉Is that true?
