This research examines the experiences of women veterans in the private sector through a critical feminist lens. Specifically, we investigated how gender and veteran status intersect to influence the experiences and career outcomes of women veterans within the private sector. Our qualitative inquiry indicated that the reality of being a veteran in a civilian work environment was problematized by their gender identity. In the male dominant private sector work environment with specific expectations of femininity, the military background of the women led to them to be perceived as being not "woman enough." They were not "veteran enough" either as their identity as a woman prevented them from being regarded on par with male veterans. The intersectionality of two marginalized identities within the private sector left women veterans feeling disregarded, underutilized, and restricted from growing in their careers. Based on our findings we advocate for an agentic role for HRD professionals within organizations whereby they can work toward changing organizational systems and practices that obstruct purposeful utilization of the skills and work experience of women veterans.
