Anuradha Bhagwati has long been at the forefront of the fight for gender equality within the military. She is a former Marine Corps captain, a three-time ACLU client, and founder of the Service Women’s Action Network, a lead plaintiff in a groundbreaking lawsuit challenging the military’s ban on women serving in combat. Her recent book, “Unbecoming: A Memoir of Disobedience,” details her experience as an Indian-American, bisexual woman in the Marines confronting a culture permeated by racism, misogyny, and sexual violence.
