In 1845 women entered the career of policing, and ever since it's
been an evolving history for them. There are countless stories of
women shaping this career, adding particular gifts and abilities to
the profession. There are, also, countless stories of their
struggles to fit in and survive in this "all-boys club." Thriving
in an All Boys Club: Female Police and Their Fight for Equality
examines one of the most debated issues surrounding female police
officers - their ability to find acceptance in the male subculture.
Through the stories of women who joined policing in the 1980s,
1990s and 2000s, readers learn that women's acceptance in policing
is complex and officer's experiences are wide-ranging. Stories of
resistance and harassment by colleagues, the glass ceiling in
promotion, and gender specific obstacles related to pregnancy and
childcare are common. Their stories show a strong sense of
determination and perseverance to perform the duties of police
officer. The potential for enduring change in the field of policing
is growing as women continue to make strides in achieving high
ranks, breaking down assignments barriers, and ensuring just
opportunities for future generations of female police officers.
Despite the struggles that women face to survive in the "all-boys
club" of policing, women not only survive, most thrive in this
almost exclusively male occupation.
