<p>This  thesis  explores  the  impact  of  life  histories  on  the  attitudes  and experiences  of  Black  women  officers.  In-depth,  personal  interviews  with  fifteen women  officers,  concentrating  heavily  on  life  histories,  were  the  major  source  of data.  Literature  and  studies  concentrating  on  military  Black  women  are  few  and limited  in  scope.  This  thesis attempts  to  unveil  the  importance  of  understanding the  experiences  of  Black  female  oficers. This  thesis  includes  an  examination  of  the  reproduction  of  racism  in  our society,  the  military  and  civilian  organizations;  a  look  at  the  role  of  the  Black female  in  and  out  of  her  own  culture,  the  social  forces  influencing  her  everyday experiences  in  and  out  of  the  military;  and  the  identification  of  the  structures  and practices  that  have  maintained  and  promoted  a  bias  of  attitude  and  action  in  the military. The  interview  protocol  explanation  establishes  the  methodology  used  to  obtain six  major  themes  from  the  analysis  of  data.  The  conclusion  provides  recommended actions  to  uncover  and  eliminate  potential  racial  and  gender  bias  that  may  exist  in the  military  services.
