Hope you enjoy the Press Club! Kelly Kennedy. Kate Germano is an American author and a former officer in the United States Marine Corps. Germano is known for her 2018 book Fight Like a Girl, which explores gender bias within the Corps. Germano graduated from the U.S. Marine Corps Command and Staff College and Georgetown University. She served 20 years in the Marines before retiring. She is COO of Service Women's Action Network. Kelly Kennedy is the best-selling author of "They Fought for Each Other: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Hardest Hit Unit in Iraq," and the co-author of Kate Germano's "Fight Like a Girl: The Truth Behind how Female Marines are Trained." An award-winning journalist, Kennedy embedded in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and served as Military Reporters & Editors' first female president. She is the only American woman to have both served in combat in the U.S. military and covered U.S. combat as a civilian. A deeply personal, fully heartfelt, and powerfully written indictment of the policy of the US Marine Corps on training women for war. Lt. Col. Germano lays out the story of her journey from topflight Marine officer and battalion commander to being fired over differing vision for training female Marines at Parris Island. Joe Plenzler met the love of his life, another Marine officer, Kate Germano, and they married in 1999. That same year, Joe also attended the Defense Information School and earned a secondary military occupational specialty as a public affairs officer. While working for General James N. Mattis from 2001-2003, he planned and executed the largest media embed program in Marine Corps history during the invasion of Iraq. He narrowly survived an ambush that seriously injured two of his six-man team on March 23, 2003 as his convoy shot their way out of the town of Az Zubayr. Derived from a Kirkus review: A passionate account of a former Marine Corps officer's fight for equality and justice in a historically sexist system. When Lt. Col. Germano was hand-selected to take command of the 4th Recruit Training Battalion at Parris Island, a group that trains only female recruits, she was well-aware of the challenges ahead. The Marine Corps was the only service that still segregated men and women during basic training, and the biased strategy is a breeding ground of issues. Implemented after an outdated, inaccurate study that showed mixed-gender units performed worse than single-sex units, the training program holds women to lower standards and maintains the damaging assumption that women are inherently mean and emotional. This strategy results in poorer performances in female recruits as well as dangerous and destructive behavioral issues. When Germano took command of 4th Battalion for what was supposed to be the swan song of her 20-year career, she was determined to change things for the better and prove women could be just as effective as men. After a year in charge, Germano's recruits had markedly improved performance and fewer behavioral issues and injuries, and the overall quality of life at the training camp improved. Despite these achievements, the author's high expectations and no-nonsense command style shook up the status quo and the many Marines and leaders who wanted to protect it, and she was ultimately fired. Using her firsthand experience and anecdotal evidence from her year in command, Germano concludes that it was sexism, prejudice, and an overt opposition to women's success that ended her career. She provides a unique, powerful story of sexism and gender bias that will resonate with women across industries and experiences. A no-holds-barred condemnation of discriminatory training policies within the Marines and of systemic sexism facing women everywhere.…
