[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a little outdated.

However, the stories of female cops in Chicago from when women were first allowed into Law Enforcement are very interesting.

[Fishface · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good, if often infuriating and sometimes depressing read about exclusion, sexual harassment and the seemingly bottomless gulf between men and women in spite of all our supposed progress. It was good to see these women succeed, but the price they had to pay was insane. Almost none of this book is about police work; it's 99% about how much it hurts to bang your head against the glass ceiling.

Very insightful.

Interesting perspective on women in law enforcement and the battle for respect
