Abstract	Love My Rifle More Than You by Kayla Williams and Shoot Like a Girl by Mary Jennings Hegar represent two instances of the rising genre of women’s military memoirs. They offer women’s views on the social constructs within the military, not only the nature, but also the perception of which is considered to be highly masculine. In addition to the memoirs, a conduit for women to engage in battles and express their experiences is the genre of fantasy. The paper therefore compares and contrasts the memoirs mentioned with A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin and Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. The temporal distance between both the memoirs and the fantasy novels allows for a chronological overview of the development of women’s position in the army and the public’s perception of women soldiers both in real life and in fiction.
