Student paper by Lt. Cdr. Beth Frances Coye in which she presented various perspectives relating to the role of women, the significant trends in theory and factual evidence related to the changing status for American women, and the special considerations which circumscribe the Navy's woman line officer program. In her findings, Coye ascertained that the role and status of the women line officer needed to be reevaluated by the Navy with a view towards eliminating problem areas and ambivalences wherever possible.
