So Brenda and her friends started their own games.\n\nWhen Brenda grew up, she wanted a job that was active and challenging. So after the New York City Fire Department announced that women could take the exam to become firefighters, she knew it was the perfect fit. But the test was so biased that not a single woman could pass it, making the message clear: don't send a girl to fight fires.\n\nBrenda was strong and fast and smart, and she knew plenty of other women were, too. So she took the FDNY to court. And she won! But that was just the first battle. How would the other firefights--and New York City residents--respond?\n\nSend a Girl! is the inspiring story of the trailblazing woman who became New York City's first professional female firefighter.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1547601744\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1547601744.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rinker, Jessica M.|Hunt, Meg\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
