The Battles of Women in the Military
Reviewed: 03-28-20
Changing the Rules of Engagement: As a father of four daughters and a former flight surgeon and LCMDER in the US Coast Guard, I found these 12 chapters extremely poignant in pointing out the courage and tenacity it took for these women soldiers to achieve success in all branches of the service. Success achieved in their military fields despite the negativity and yes, often abuse and sexual harassment that these driven women had to bear from male military counterparts. They were top ranked women in multiple fields including admirals, generals and also navy divers and aviators, and women who achieved amazing careers in project management and administrative positions. They were successful despite a continuous uphill battle against the negative force of their male counterparts. Not only did their desire lead to success in the military but also in business and teaching careers after the service. Two of the ties that were common in their journeys were the positive reinforcement from their military parents that they could do anything that they set their mind to do, and a male soldier teammate who supported them against the negative forces of many in their ranks. One of the excellent stories concerned a four-star general who became tops in her field. I would say that Martha La Guardia-Kotite is a five star author in writing the stories of these brave women’s lives.
