Something to Try
Thank you to Amy Carruthers for the recommendation of a new book to check out: The Stone Frigate: The Royal Military College's First Female Cadet Speaks Out:

As she struggled for survival in the ultimate boys’ club, she called on her fierce and humourous spirit to push back against the whims of a domineering and patriarchal organization. Later in life, feeling unfulfilled in her post-military career, she realized that finding her true path forward meant she had to go back to the beginning and revisit the truth of what she had experienced all those years ago.
