Welcome to “Brackets W”, a virtual museum dedicated to women who have served in the armed services.
Brackets W is an eclectic mix of items and seeks to capture and reflect the lives of women who have served across all services, in all countries and throughout history. It reflects both the official version of women’s service and some very unofficial perceptions. It is a personal collection, none of which is for sale but all of which is available for you to discover.
The collection itself makes no claims to cover every aspect of the idea of women who have served, so much as reflecting my personal passion for collecting anything and everything that says “something” about servicewoman. Within the museum you will find historical and contemporary items, as well as the unusual and unexpected. You will find some individual histories, including my own. You may also find some errors – history can be a tricky thing and I have a day job – I’ve done my best to get the “historical” facts right. I welcome your feedback on points of fact.
For those women who have served I hope you find something that speaks to you because this site is dedicated to you, the challenges you have faced and some of the “truth” and “untruth” of how many societies cope with the idea of your participation in the armed services.
There are many more stories to be told and I will keep updating the site as I go on my own personal journey of discovery, so bookmark the site, and visit again. > View the collection
