CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - The antiquated thought that a woman's place is 'at home, in the kitchen' is not long gone, but steadily fading away. Women are more educated today, work in more demanding jobs than in years past and are more globally diverse than their foremothers. As a result of the shift in women's roles in America, more opportunities have become available for young women like Lance Cpl. Jessica Hardyway to have successful careers while leaving a positive footprint in the world. Hardyway, a warehouse clerk with 2nd Dental Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, is taking her success as a Marine to new heights.
