A book titled "The Lady In Boots," authored by the late Major General (Maj Gen) Constance Edjeani-Afenu (Rtd), was launched on September 6, 2023, at the Burma Hall in Burma Camp, Accra.
This 326-page memoir chronicles the life of the first female Major General in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), spanning from her childhood to her illustrious career as a Military Officer, Peacekeeper, Diplomat, wife, mother, and servant of God.
The book sheds light on the aspirations and expectations of all female members of the GAF, with a keen focus on Gender Mainstreaming. It serves as a valuable reference for leadership and inspiration for young females aspiring to join the GAF.

The Guest of Honour and Chairman of the Launch, former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and Ghana's current Ambassador to Egypt, His Excellency Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Obed Boamah Akwa (Rtd), expressed his gratitude to all attendees and underscored the uniqueness of the event, owing to the author's remarkable personality.
HE Lt Gen Akwa (Rtd) praised the author for providing a comprehensive account of her life, family, and career for the benefit of future generations. He emphasized that the fact that she accomplished this before her passing is a testament to her foresight, dedication, and sense of purpose.

In her review of the book, Brigadier General (Brig Gen) Anita Asmah highlighted its historical significance, offering insights into the author's military journey and her substantial contributions to gender mainstreaming within the GAF.
She noted that an entire chapter in the book is dedicated to contemporary gender issues, which will serve as a valuable resource for understanding gender equality and mainstreaming in both the GAF and the United Nations (UN).
