Dress to Impress: How a Navy Blazer Changed My Life!
Review Date: 6/22/2013


Ms. Shellhart produced a book that is most helpful especially to those who are new in the job market. She is very detailed in explaining the best way to make a great impression, expecially at the job interview. She takes nothing for granted, from the way to dress for a variety of jobs to hairstyles, manicures, and jewelry. If a person new to the job market, or one who has had difficulty procuring a job, reads this book from cover to cover, s/he should feel confident at that next interview. I wish I'd had this book years ago!


When Women First Wore Army Shoes: A first-person account of service as a member of the Women's Army Corps during WWII.
Review Date: 7/22/2010


I was really amazed by this book! The author of this memoir displayed wit throughout her experience as a WAC during World War II, even when the experiences weren't at all humorous! I guess that's how she was able to make it through the war and remain sane! I felt like I was right there with her. When I finished the book, I discovered that she had a wonderful career after the war as a writer for National Geographic. She must have been one of the first "women libbers" before there was such a thing. I recommend it to anyone interested in the experiences of the WACs from first-hand knowledge. It definitely beats reading about it in a dry history book!
