You only have to look back in history at the role of women at work to understand the strength and value women bring to the workforce. Think back to 1940, when World War II drove women out of their homes or traditional female work to enter occupations generally filled by men. Jobs once closed to women were suddenly available, and the “gender” roadblock appeared to be lifted.

Greetings, from the heart of Baghdad and the International Zone. I write from the third floor of the Embassy Compound Office, which is home to several agencies including the one to which I am assigned: the USDA’s Agricultural Affairs Office that is administered by the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).

I grew up on a small farm in western Iowa and my father was an adamant proponent of buying American.

At the time of this writing, I am one day away from departing U.S. soil for my assignment in Baghdad.

I am sitting in a large classroom at the Foreign Service Institute (FSI). Around me are about 70 adults.

In a previous column, I reported to you my new assignment to Washington, D.C., and then to Baghdad, Iraq.
