What a great read! The author’s fluid and candid narration style walked me through her experience as the 1st female student at an all-male institution. This is the quintessential story of the outsider who succeeds in an “adversarial” environment. Humor, common sense, life lessons, inspiration… A Sparkle of Royal Blue contains all the ingredients for a best-seller. I really enjoyed reading it… The following quote stuck with me “I don’t need to be aggressive, but I can be assertive and confident.” Well done!
