I have been asked many times what it was like to be a woman in the military, and this episode is a small sample of what it was like. I tell stories of discrimination, judgement, glory, and, also being treated equally. It was a challenging, sometimes enraging, empowering, and sometimes, lonely time. I tell stories that include all of these things!
Did you know that woman have been serving in the military, even in combat, since the Revolutionary War? While Congress has been debating women and their role in combat for decades, women have been serving in combat from the very beginning. And as per usual in my podcast episodes, I look into some research that demonstrates why women actually improve performance for groups in high pressure situations.
