Sheila McNeill's New Book "What Are You Doing Here?" is the Compelling Autobiography of a True Pioneer in the Historically Male-Dominated Military Advocacy Sector
Recent release "What Are You Doing Here?" from Page Publishing author Sheila McNeill is a riveting personal history spanning a half century of dedicated service in support of America's military sea services: the US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Coast Guard, and US Flag Merchant Marine. During her decades of advocacy in a myriad of leadership positions across several organizations, she weathered countless instances of overt sexism with grace and humor, ultimately winning over her would-be critics with her undeniable qualifications and passion for supporting the US Armed Forces.
BRUNSWICK, Ga., June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sheila McNeill, president of The Camden Partnership, past president of the Navy League of the United States (the first woman to hold that position since the League's founding in 1902), and was the recipient of the Bob Hope Award who has received numerous awards for distinguished service to the United States Armed Forces, has completed her book "What Are You Doing Here?": a fascinating look inside the world of military advocacy over the past fifty years from the perspective of a dedicated woman blazing a trail in a male-dominated world.
McNeill shares, "After my tenure as national president of the Navy League and after I think, perhaps, I have nothing to prove, I was wrong. I was asked to speak at the annual Thursday night dinner of the Submarine Veterans of WWII in November 2008. I came in at the last minute and sat down at the designated table full of submarine veterans and their wives. I was the last one to sit down. The submarine veteran next to me listens while we visit at the table for a few minutes and then turns to me and says, 'What are you doing here? You don't know anything about us. You aren't a submariner. Why should you be speaking to us?' And I thought, 'Here we go again'."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Sheila McNeill's book is an encyclopedic reflection on a half-century of dedicated service in support of American sea power.
