This article on women in the Danish Armed Forces concentrates on two main integration perspectives: The political integration, i.e. the legal basis decided by Parliament and Government for Danish women to serve as soldiers, and the organizational integration decided by the military organization consisting of four elements: A military integration, i.e. the distribution of women in either the Armed and or in the Military Forces, a horizontal integration, i.e. the distribution of women within each of the three services, a vertical distribution, i.e. the number of women on different career posts, and a functional distribution, i.e. the type of work female soldiers are doing. The article finally contends all integration perspectives to explain the present rather modest integration of women in the Danish Armed Forces.
