Add to basketHow does a wildly successful sixty-year-old Republican woman from affluent Orange County, California find herself smack in the middle of the Iraq War?
In the aftermath of 2003’s American-led invasion of Iraq, Congress appropriated $18.4 billion US tax dollars for construction and repair of that country’s infrastructure. Saddam Hussein’s flagrant neglect of the nation he’d ruled for more than two decades had left the land and its people virtually destitute, while he’d built hundreds of palaces to support his gluttonous lifestyle.
Approached by a colleague to draft a plan to ensure that Iraqi women—who’d all but disappeared from public life under Iraq’s increasingly gender-oppressive culture—would be able to play a significant role in the rebuilding of their country, political consultant Eileen Padberg got far more than she’d bargained for. She soon found herself on a military C-130 transport bound for Baghdad’s Green Zone, tapped to execute the plan in a region where a forty-pound flak jacket and boiled beef at the DFAC would replace Eileen Fisher fashions and BBQ on the patio.
Surprisingly, as Padberg would quickly learn, the most formidable obstacle to Iraq’s integration of qualified women back into the workforce was not the country itself, but the US government and military.
As an expert in military affairs, I found Ms. Padberg's account of her service in Iraq compelling, credible and extremely powerful.
--Jeff Cateau, coauthor, The Complete Idiot's Guide To The Pentagon
Eileen Padberg writes with a "steely eye and a steady hand," transporting us to the "front line" of rebuilding Iraq while the people are still in war. Tasked with ensuring Iraqi women could build their businesses to help reconstruct a "new" Iraq, Padberg steps into a situation that is even foreign to the locals: After years of having no rights, how do the women "reinsert" themselves into society? Padberg became their mentor, cajoler, sounding board, advocate, and friend. All this, while trying to stay alive. Read her story now, it will inspire you to greater heights.
--Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez
Eileen Padberg's new book, Out of My Lane: Leveling the Playing Field for Iraqi Women, provides a unique perspective on the war in Iraq - that of a 60-year-old civilian and California political consultant dedicated to women's rights, who took on the daunting task of helping repressed Iraqi women participate in the economic rebuilding of their country. It's a gripping tale, both terrifying and fascinating. Eileen brings a new and unique insight to the quest to understand America's seeming tragic inability to bring Iraq either peace or democracy.
--Karen Clark
Eileen depended on me to help her through the cultural landscape and I depended on her to implement a plan that would in real time help Iraqi women become independent business women and government officials. Sometimes it seemed like no one thought our efforts were important, but Eileen would never let us give up. We persevered in the face of some very difficult times, and her gripping book documents it all.

You can use the enclosed specimen revocation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
