An Army first: Two sisters attain general's rank

[UrbScotty]

Maj. Gen. Maria Barrett and younger sister Brig. Gen. Paula Lodi are each accomplished in their own fields. But together they have become the first two sisters, the Army believes, to attain the general’s rank in the service's 244-year history.

...

The sisters' achievement is a remarkable milestone for women in the military, said Melissa Dalton, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Defense Department official. She put it in the class of retired Army Gen. Ann Dunwoody, the first woman in any service to attain four stars.

"For both men and women increasingly normalizing women in leadership positions matters," Dalton said. "The fact that it comes from same family is an incredible accomplishment."
