Sinossi
Brenda Berkman was often told that she couldn't do certain things because she was a girl. When she grew up, she longed for a job that was challenging, different every day, and required physical and mental strength. In 1977 when the New York City Fire Department finally complied with the Civil Rights Act (from 1964) by allowing women to take the FDNY exam, Brenda jumped at the chance.
But the FDNY changed the rules of the exam so women wouldn't be able to pass it. Even a lot of men couldn't pass this new exam.
So Brenda Berkman took the FDNY to court. In 1982, they finally made a fair test, and Brenda and 40 other women passed. She then founded the United Women Firefighters, an organization that helps train and prepare women to be firefighters. Brenda went on to serve in the FDNY for 25 years, reaching the positions of Lieutenant and Captain, and was a first responder during the attacks on the Twin Towers on 9/11. Send a Girl! is Brenda Berkman's inspiring story.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Hunt, Meg (illustratore). This dynamic and inspiring picture book biography tells the story of the first female fire fighters in New York City.When Brenda Berkman was a girl, she loved sports and playing outside--but the coach wouldn't let her play on the baseball team. "Don't send a girl to play a boy's game!" he said. So Brenda and her friends started their own games.When 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.Brenda 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?Send a Girl! is the inspiring story of the trailblazing woman who became New York City's first professional female firefighter.
