Stories have power, but only if people know them.
Boots on the Ground, Flats in the Boardroom: Transportation Women Tell Their Stories details the rise of 18 pioneering women in transportation by telling their stories in their words.
From the woman who ran the Federal Aviation Administration during 9/11 to the woman who helped make seatbelts standard in cars, Boots on the Ground, Flats in the Boardroom provides raw stories of how these women learned to succeed in a white, male-dominated industry.
Authored by seasoned transportation authorities Grace Crunican and Liz Levin, Boots on the Ground, Flats in the Boardroom presents leadership lessons from women who changed the world.
About the Author: GRACE CRUNICAN As general manager of Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, Grace Crunican oversees more than 3, 500 employees and $30 billion of transportation infrastructure.
