There is no doubt in anyone's mind that September 11 will live on forever in the hearts and minds of all who witnessed that horrible day. And with each step we take toward healing, an undeniable importance is placed on the need to know. People ache to hear the stories of those who survived and the heroes who were only doing a job. While a great deal has been said about the men, the emergency workers, firefighters, and police officers who so quickly became the new American heroes, little has been said about the women heroes of what has become known as Ground Zero. But all that has changed with Women at Ground Zero, a new book by award-winning journalist and EMT worker Susan Hagen and social worker Mary Carouba.… (mer)

This is a collection of stories from 33 women who were at Ground Zero on 9/11, 3 in memorium....

It is totally amazing that the media still talks about all the men who were there, their heroism & those (men) who lost their lives, but sadly they omit the women as well as the private sector EMS/EMTs, the Port Authority of New York (who had jurisdiction of the World Trade Center), and the New Jersey Police Dept. who also came to the rescue.

"On Sept. 11, the Port Authority Police Dept. suffered the largest single-day loss of any police department in the history of the U.S. (They were stationed inside the World Trade Center).

An unprecedented number of women responded to the events at the World Trade Center. They came from every Borough in N.Y. City and from all across the countnry as firefighters, police officers, emergency medical providers, military personnel, and members of search-and-rescue teams. Women in the trades contributed their skills as construction workers, heavy equipment operators, steelworkers, electrictians, utility workers, and engineers.

Women were also among the First to arrive at Ground Zero to organize relief efforts for the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other organizations. Female doctors, nurses, counselors, physical therapists, and massage therapists brought Healing Arts to ailing rescue workers on the scene. Women volunteered to do anything and everything they could to help."


This is just a few of their stories...but it is no less powerful than those of their male counter-parts.

I've had this sitting on my shelf for over six months....my God-daughter a LAPD officer, met these women and bought this signed edition for me. I want to say Thank-you Book Bingo Ladies, if I had not pulled the Women tag, this would still probably still be sitting on my shelf unread.

Introduction: Like millions of other Americans, we couldn't take our eyes off the news.
It was Carol Paukner's quick wit and easy laugh that made her so engaging, and her big heart that made us want to stay in touch.
