A Woman In Defence TPB
Paperback
Karina Molloy is a remarkable woman and an outstanding soldier. During her 31-year career in the Irish Defence Forces, she gained many firsts.
First female to get promoted to Senior Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) rank in the Irish Defence Forces. First to attempt the Army Ranger Wing selection course – Ireland’s SAS equivalent – when it was considered impossible for female soldiers due to their status as non-combatants. And, to date, Karina has the most overseas service as a female Senior NCO, with a total of eleven tours of duty in five different mission areas under her belt.
But despite her pioneering career, Karina faced many setbacks as a woman in an institution rife with misogyny – from sexual harassment and assault to routine bullying.
And yet she persevered. A Woman in Defence is the often shocking story of a pioneering soldier who, through dogged determination, resilience and talent, forged her way in a man’s world, and who continues today on a mission to make the Irish Army a safe and equitable place for women.

A Woman in Defence by Karina Molloy - Sinéad & Rick's Must Reads
Author Sinéad Moriarty shares her review of A Woman in Defence by Karina Molloy. Karina Molloy was a soldier in the Irish Army for 31 years, and ‘A Woman in Defence’ is her raw and courageous behind-the-scenes account of being a female in an environment which was often filled with toxic misogyny. This compelling memoir gives you a fascinating insight into the harsh reality of Army life from a woman who is tough and determined, but who was worn down by the workplace discrimination she endured, and also by the horrific sexual assault and bullying that she suffered at the hands of her male colleagues and superiors.
