À propos de cet audio

A memoir from the first female cadet admitted to the Royal Military College of Canada.

Kate Armstrong was an ordinary young woman eager to leave an abusive childhood behind her when she became the first female cadet admitted to the Royal Military College of Canada. 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.

Full disclosure. I knew Kate way back in the mid 80s when she was with a young officer in my unit in Germany. I graduated from Royal Roals in 1980 before women entered RMC that fall. In the time we knew each other Kate never spoke about her experience this way. I applaud her for her courage, honesty and transparency. I am embarrassed to be a man based on how she and the other women were treated. There was and is no place in our military or society for discrimination of this or any sort. This is a must read.

I just wanted to say thank you for your story. It comes across as extremely true and thoughtfully reflected in this telling. As a female member of the class of 98 I believe that your experience paved the way for a more smooth (but not perfect) experience for me. Your book has helped me look back at my experience with both happiness and discomfort, but most of all with the wisdom of experience. Thanks again for your service.
