Susan Hagen and Mary Carouba Authors of Women At Ground Zero

Speaking with author Mary Carouba reminded me of how much work is yet to be done regarding the recognition of the roles women play in today's society!  In the book Women At Ground Zero  we hear from the courageous women that saved many of lives on September 11, 2001 and give thanks to those who gave their lives as well.  There are 30 intimate stories from these women in their own words that up until the time that the authors met with them their voices had not been heard.  Little recognition for their acts of heroism  had been given to the female police officers, Port Authority, EMS, and fire fighters.  This is a book that that not only our daughters, sisters and mothers should read but also for all our sons as well.  I could not just read one story before putting Women At Ground Zero down... I had to read them all and from my heart I needed to thank them all as well.
