Shoot like a girl : one woman's dramatic fight in Afghanistan and on the home front
Mary Jennings Hegar
958.1047 /Hegar
Nonfiction
"On June 29, 2009, Air National Guard major Mary Jennings "MJ" Hegar was shot down while on a Medevac mission on her third tour in Afghanistan. Despite being wounded, she fought the enemy and saved the lives of her crew and their patients. But soon she would face a new battle: to give women who serve on the front lines the credit they deserve... After being commissioned into the U.S. Air Force, MJ Hegar was selected for pilot training by the Air National Guard, finished at the top of her class, then served three tours in Afghanistan, flying combat search-and-rescue missions, culminating in a harrowing rescue attempt that would earn MJ the Purple Heart as well as the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device. But it was on American soil that Hegar would embark on her greatest challenge--to eliminate the military's Ground Combat Exclusion Policy, which kept female armed service members from officially serving in combat roles despite their long-standing record of doing so with honor. In Shoot Like a Girl, MJ takes the reader on a dramatic journey through her military career: an inspiring, humorous, and thrilling true story of a brave, high-spirited, and unforgettable woman who has spent much of her life ready to sacrifice everything for her country, her fellow man, and her sense of justice."--Jacket flap.
There seem to be more harassment and abuse cases that pop up in overwhelmingly male dominated fields like the military. Hegan inspires readers as she perseveres through the harassment and hazing she experienced in order to fight for equality in allowing women to enter into ground combat operations. -Melody

Unwanted advances : sexual paranoia comes to campus
Laura Kipnis
305.42 /Kipnis
Nonfiction
From a highly regarded feminist, cultural critic, and professor comes a polemic arguing that the stifling sense of sexual danger sweeping American campuses doesn't empower women, it impedes the fight for gender equality.
For a pot-stirring book and a rare defense of men these days, this book unpacks the relationships between two students and professor, whose employment ended due to the charges against him. Known for her multi-layered polemics, Kipnis pores over the details of his case and puts forth an argument for “grown up feminism.” What’s refreshing about Kipnis’s perspective is how much she believes in female agency as a source of power, rather than power always being a one-way dynamic from the top down. Read this book if you like to acknowledge how complicated it all is. -Melody
