When Nancy Mace entered the Citadel, the United States government had just recently overturned the ruling that women were not allowed to enter the Corps of Cadets. Having grown up in a military family, Nancy was not unfamiliar with the harsh realities of military life. But upon entering those imposing gates. Nancy soon found out that she wasn't just fighting the tradition of the corps, but the culture and city that surrounded it.
