G.I. Jane opens on a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing with a Senator, Lillian DeHaven (Bancroft), arguing that the U.S. Armed Services does not have enough women.
She strikes a deal with her colleagues that if a series of test cases reveal that women can favorably compete, the entire U.S. military will fully integrate women into the U.S. Navy.
As DeHaven begins to hand select which women will stand for these test cases, we meet Jordan O’Neil (Moore), a highly ranked officer in the Navy who is extremely good at her job, but cannot get promoted higher because she doesn’t have the necessary field experience, which she can’t get because she’s a woman.
Cut to DeHaven looking through pictures of candidates and discarding most of them for being “too butch.” She lands on Jordan because she can represent the feminine side of the Navy.
