Research
In 1972, Stiehm published the book Nonviolent Power: Active and Passive Resistance. In Nonviolent Power, Stiehm studies the uses of nonviolent resistance and its potential as a tool for social change, focusing on how its use is misunderstood and what the characteristics of successful nonviolent resistance are.[3] She discusses the history of nonviolent resistance in American politics, then studies the connection between nonviolent resistance and other doctrines on the just uses of violence, and the role of nonviolence in a democracy.[4]
Stiehm has also published multiple books on the situation of women in the U.S. military: she authored Bring Me Men and Women: Mandated Change at the U.S. Air Force Academy (1981) and Arms and the Enlisted Woman (1989), and edited It's Our Military Too!: Women and the US Military (1996).[5] Bring Me Men and Women studies the mandated introduction of women cadets into the United States Air Force Academy and the institution's response to that change.[6] Arms and the Enlisted Woman studies the situation of women in the United States military and makes specific recommendations to increase their involvement in military planning and operations, and was published at a time when this was a strong contrast with the military's approach.[7]
In 2002, she wrote U.S. Army War College: Military Education in a Democracy. This book is a detailed description of the history, classes, faculty, and administration of The
In 2006, Stiehm published the book Champions for Peace: Women Winners of the Nobel Prize for Peace. The book is motivated by the apparent contradiction that peacemaking has traditionally been portrayed as a feminine activity, and yet by that point only 12 women had won the Nobel Peace Prize in more than 100 years.[9] In Champions for Peace, Stiehm writes a biographical sketch of each of those 12 winners, studying the varied backgrounds that led women to become highly successful advocates for peace.[9]
Stiehm received the 2008
