"This straightforward, informative, and well-documented history of women pioneers in law enforcement recaps the abiding spirit of women who recognized the barriers inherent to women in policing, prepared themselves to address those challenges, and worked diligently to achieve their goals. Although tremendous progress has been made over the past decades, we must continue to bear in mind the past sacrifices and successes of those who blazed this trail." -Karin Montejo, Ph.D., twenty-eight-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Department and chief of the administration and technology division
"Robert Snow has done an excellent job of chronicling the history of women in law enforcement. But beyond that, he has accurately portrayed the challenges faced as women confront discriminatory agility tests, interview boards, and the attitudes of some men in law enforcement. This is a must-read for political leaders, educators, police chiefs, and women who aspire to these careers." -Chief Penny Harrington, first female chief of police of a major city (Portland)
