Nominated for Best Biography
An Post Irish Book Awards 2023

‘A Woman in Defence is a landmark publication… It is a highly readable and engaging work. The narrative comes from the heart, and each chapter packs a considerable punch. This is a real soldier’s tale…’  – Tom Clonan, Irish Times

‘It makes for a hugely exciting read. It really is a brilliant book…’  – Pat Kenny, Newstalk

‘Karina Molloy’s story has been told …with the skilful aid of co-writer Kathryn Rogers…The style is straightforward and unvarnished, befitting the subject… Her voice demands to be heard. One can only hope that Tánaiste Micheál Martin, who is also Defence Minister, will be among this important book’s first and most attentive readers…’  – Eilis O’Hanlon, Sunday Independent

‘Molloy’s recollections are delivered with an arresting mix of in-your-face military precision and an emotional intelligence that provide an absorbing, poignant and often shocking account of her time in the Defence Forces.’ – Tom Clonan, Irish Times

‘This book is a terrific read…’ ­­ – The Last Word with Matt Cooper, Today FM  ­­

‘A poignant telling of the highs of proud service… but also the gut-wrenching alleged abuse she suffered on a number of occasions. Her memoir is a complex read at times, not a simple telling of life spent dealing with abuse. It is filled with nuance about military culture, the good and the bad of it, and pure honesty…’  – Niall O’Connor, Journal.ie

‘A groundbreaking and eye-opening book…’  – Michael McHugh, Donegal Democrat
