Woman In Scarlet: The groundbreaking true story of life as a woman in an elite, male-only police force - Softcover
Synopsis
An inspirational memoir of one woman’s 28-year journey from aspirations of becoming one of the first female officers within the fabled Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to overcoming the harsh realities of discrimination, injustice and personal violation. Karen Adams’ dream became possible the day the RCMP finally included women in what was then, an unashamed boy’s club. When Karen joined the very first group of female RCMP recruits at age 22, she never anticipated the indelible mark this would leave on the landscape of Canada’s iconic police force and the women who came after her. Karen, least of all. Fueled by equal measures of naiveté and a relentless pursuit of excellence to win the respect of her fellow officers, Karen found her passion in life despite a hostile work environment, both inside and outside the RCMP. Her story pulses with excitement as she recounts her initial forays into drug busts, surveillance and undercover missions–all the while suffering silently with PTSD after a physical assault perpetrated by a trusted member of the vaunted force she strived so hard to become part of. Told with exuberance, humor and astonishing honesty, Woman In Scarlet, is a thrilling police car ride-along, as well as a deeply personal and courageous view of one woman’s evolution from a fledgling cadet to a respected trailblazer for social and political change. Read Woman In Scarlet today for a remarkable journey filled with brutal obstacles, the heartbreaks of loss and the triumphs of achievement.

About the Author
Karen Adams is an author and public speaker sharing her pioneering experiences as one of the first 32 women accepted into the ranks of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1974. She aspires to uplift and give back through compassionate leadership, while living by Regina Brett’s famous quote, “Life isn’t about how you survived the storm...it’s about how you danced in the rain.” Having retired from teaching at MacEwan University in 2015, Karen enjoys life in her ocean view home on Vancouver Island, where she spends countless hours sitting at the marina with friends and family. When she’s not speaking, volunteering at her local Community Policing Society, or at rehearsals with her performing arts group, she’s traveling and delighting in each new person she meets along the way.
