Changing the Rules of Engagement documents the lives of American
women who have shattered the glass ceiling and performed
extraordinary feats while serving their country in the military. By
telling their stories about their remarkable careers in
traditionally male-dominated environments, Martha LaGuardia-Kotite
demonstrates how tenacious and courageous women can achieve the
unimaginable. Among the pioneering women profiled are Vivien Crea,
who as vice commandant of the Coast Guard held the highest position
of any woman in the history of the U.S. military; Tammy Duckworth,
a Purple Heart recipient and triple amputee who was shot down in
Iraq while piloting a helicopter; and Heather Wilson, an Air Force
Academy graduate, Rhodes scholar, and the country's only female
veteran in Congress. Included are the inspirational stories of
women Marines, one of the three female Space Shuttle commanders,
and the first female members of the military service academies'
gender-integrated classes, who recall the highs and lows of their
trailblazing experiences. These are only a few of the remarkable
women who tell their own inspiring stories. Representative of a
widely diverse group of enlisted women and officers from different
races and cultures, they have succeeded since the mid-1970s at
combating prejudices and aiding change in the military with
intelligence, passion, and honor.
