Summary:
''After spending more than twenty-six years as a Special
Agent
with the
FBI
, Kathy Stearman recounts the
global
experiences that shaped her life -- and the mixed feelings that she now holds
about
the sacrifices she had to make to survive in a man’s world. When former
FBI
Agent
Kathy Stearman read in the New York Times that sixteen women were suing the
FBI
for discrimination at the training academy, she was surprised to see the women come forward -- no one ever had before. But the truth behind their accusations resonated. After a twenty-six-year
career
in the Bureau, Kathy Stearman knows from personal experience that this type of behavior has been prevalent for decades. Stearman’s It’s Not
About
the
Gun
examines the influence of attitude and gender in her journey to becoming
FBI
Legal Attaché, the most senior
FBI
representative in a foreign office. When she entered the
FBI
Academy in 1987, Stearman was one of
about
600 women in a force of 10,000 agents. While there, she evolved into an assertive woman, working her way up the ranks and across the globe to hold positions that very few women have held before. And yet, even at the height of her
career
, Stearman had to check herself to make sure that she never appeared weak, inferior, or afraid. The accepted attitude for women in power has long been cool, calm, and in control -- and sometimes that means coming across as cold and emotionless. Stearman changed for the
FBI
, but she longs for a different path for future women of the Bureau. If the system changes, then women can remain constant, valuing their
female
identity and nurturing the people they truly are. In It'
s
Not
About
the
Gun
, Stearman describes how she was viewed as a woman and an American overseas, and how her perception of her country and the
FBI
, observed from the optics of distance, has evolved."--Publisher.
