Porcelain on Steel is an insider's tour of one of America's most
storied institutions and shares with the reader what it takes to
succeed in the high-pressure, high-performance, high-testosterone
lab that produces leaders for the Army and for our Nation. In an
era where the American public is saturated with women selling
sexuality, this book highlights those who, blessed with strong
character traits, use them to make a positive contribution to
society. Leadership is a matter of character; leadership is matter
of how to be, not how to do it. Leadership is something that is
instilled in you-and great leaders in turn instill the ability in
others. The women in Porcelain on Steel exemplify this-for all ages
and wisdom for all time. Their qualities and strength of character
would lead to success in any era but most importantly, their
stories are especially relevant now, in today's times. This is a
book for your daughter, your sister, your best friend, and most of
all, yourself. *** The women in Porcelain on Steel are genuine role
models. America's youth, whether male or female, as well as parents
in search of stories of inspiration, courage, loyalty, public
service and leadership that set a positive direction for our young
people, should read this book. This is a powerful and inspirational
portrait of the women who serve-not just our country, but their
families, their communities, and their own commitment to a
purposeful and meaningful life. These women, like the author Donna
McAleer herself, had the courage and strength to attend West
Point-the toughest and most elite military school in the nation-and
have the heart and soul to be role models for women everywhere. We
can find courage in their courage, faith in their faith, and our
own best selves in them. West Point is an indispensible institution
that has helped sustain our democracy for more than 200 years.
