Book Review: When Polly Met Olly

Happy Publication Day: High Heels and Beetle Crushers, a Womanist Cold War Memoir by Jackie Skingley
Skingley's book is a compelling memoir of post-war Britain and her experience there as a woman in the armed forces. I am particularly interested in reading this book because I enjoy reading about strong female leaders who aren't afraid to chase their dreams. The world needs more women who lead, and Skingley's story is an important piece of modern history.
