Personally, I feel that by limiting attire to gender-specific norms, there's the potential of creating a hostile work environment from various perspectives.

I've worn dresses a few times to the office, as long as I have my gun and can perform my job I don't see the problem in it! Protection...it's obviously not practical although it was funny in the book seeing her pictured in dresses alongside the protectees!! I think it's nice to kinda break the stereotype that being in law enforcement means you can't be feminine.
I think we agreed the book to be read by the end of the month ....is that doable?? Please feel free for those that have read the book or are deep into it, pose other questions or discussions. I think it's cool to see what's important to everyone in regards to topics in the book. On a side note, did anyone see Wonder Woman yet??!!

Also, let's throw out some titles for our next reading adventure!!!

I'm good for this week....during lunch as of now. Ivanka Trump wrote a book called Women Who Work. NY Times best seller. Thoughts?

I figured I would get this thing started and open up the discussion with a question regarding the attire of the first female agents. Skirts? Do you ladies think this should translate into today's Service?
Coming from the military, I've always been in some type of uniform and usually pants. It is hard to function in a skirt. Although, there is a time and place for them. I think it's hard enough to be accepted into a "male dominated" career and wearing a skirt may just make it harder for us?!
What are your thoughts? No right or wrong here, just a healthy discussion to get the ball rollin' and give everyone time to join the group and start reading the book!
