Do Something: Remembering Dr. Felicia Florine Campbell

But that “do something,” that’s what got me. That was Dr. Campbell summed up in a two-word cypher. This was a woman who, after getting her BA in English from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, decided to join the Marines, just to show she could do it. She was part of the first class of women officer candidates and, once she proved she could hack it, decided it wasn’t something she wanted to do after all and resigned her commission, heading back to academia.
