Changing the Rules of Engagement
Summary
Changing the Rules of Engagement documents the lives of American women in the military, who have shattered the glass ceiling and performed extraordinary feats while serving their country. 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 Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody, the first female four star, Vivien Crea, who, as vice commandant of the Coast Guard held the highest position of any woman in the history of the US 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. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. Praise for the book: “Will surely serve to inspire future generations of young women to follow in their footsteps and achieve excellence in our nation’s armed forces.” (From the foreword by Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL), chairman, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs) “Martha LaGuardia-Kotite deserves our thanks for sharing the incredible stories of those who paved the way for all of us serving today.” (Capt. Melissa Bert, USCG)

Summary of Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Summary
Note to listeners: This is an unofficial summary of Glennon Doyle’s book Untamed, designed to enrich your reading/listening experience of the original book. Untamed is about memories Glennon Doyle's excursion to liberating herself and permitting herself to be a more genuine structure. It begins with her being "confined" in by the world's demand to tell individuals (however, particularly ladies) how to be and act and goes on in a progression of short articles to disclose her excursion to turning out to be "free". I went into this book with the mind-set that I'm most likely not the correct peruser for this book, yet I'd attempt to appreciate what I can gain and overlook the rest. I truly enjoyed it a great deal. Glennon Doyle is a memoirist, and this is a day-to-day existence guidance type diary. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There she is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her voice - the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world’s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living.

More than Medicine
Summary
In More than Medicine, LaTonya J. Trotter chronicles the everyday work of a group of nurse practitioners (NPs) working on the front lines of the American health care crisis as they cared for 400 African American older adults living with poor health and limited means. Trotter describes how these NPs practiced an inclusive form of care work that addressed medical, social, and organizational problems that often accompany poverty. In solving this expanded terrain of problems from inside the clinic, these NPs were not only solving a broader set of concerns for their patients, they became a professional solution for managing "difficult people" for both their employer and the state. Through More than Medicine, we discover that the problems found in the NP's exam room are as much a product of our nation's disinvestment in social problems as of physician scarcity or rising costs. The book is published by Cornell University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. "A must-read for anyone interested in how our changing health care system both maintains and challenges norms about gender, work, and the provision of care." (Adia Harvey Wingfield, professor of sociology, Washington University in St. Louis) "A beautiful book, one that is engaging, empirically rich, and theoretically sophisticated." (Clare Stacey, medical sociologist, Kent State University)
