Description
In the summer of 1976, the first women were admitted to the United States Military Academy, and the first women to complete a four-year ROTC program were commissioned as second lieutenants.
Lori, Maura, Anne, and Amelia’s journey into a male-dominated Army are chronicled in this exciting, page-turning adventure, as they face the challenges of being accepted into an army that is struggling to integrate women.
Refined by Fire shares the women’s uncertainty, frustration, and friendship, while accurately depicting the challenges both the academy cadets and active-duty lieutenants encountered in the United States Army of the mid-1970s. Refined by Fire, the first novel in the Guardians of Peace historical fiction series by Ruth VanDyke and Yvonne Doll, weaves a tale of young women surviving and thriving in sometimes difficult and completely uncharted circumstances.
Advance Praise
"Richly authentic and gripping—you can smell the Army canvas and boot leather. The authors masterfully capture the simultaneous adaptation of the Army to female line officers and the individual officers to the Army." Thomas Spoehr, LTG, US Army.

This is a great story of women being integrated into the regular army in the 1970's. They were certainly ground breakers for women today. This book follows several paths for women, including studying at West Point , ROTC, and direct commission. I enjoyed reading this "history" of women in service, it certainly has changed over the years. There are more authors writing with this theme and I like them.
