Dorothy Moses Schulz, Breaking the Brass Ceiling: Women Police Chiefs & Their Paths to the Top. Praeger, 2004. Hardcover, $44.95, ISBN: 0-275-98180-0. Based on quantitative data and interviews with almost half of the 200 women police chiefs and 30 women sheriffs holding office today, this book describes the changing roles of women in policing and documents the careers of those who have reached chief executive officer status. The book weaves together the history of the police and the history of women to describe a century of change in law enforcement. The women profiled are trailblazers who describe how they successfully negotiated their careers. Questions are answered about whether the women share common characteristics in terms of family backgrounds, race, ethnicity, age, marital status, and paths to the top. They discuss their education, career moves, and assignments on the way to promotion. The book uncovers the history of the earliest women chiefs and sheriffs, whose careers began before the 1920s and ends with t he question of whether four women currently heading for major city police departments means the playing field has leveled.
