Send a Girl! The True Story of How Women Joined the FDNY
Description
In the early days of the FDNY, firefighting was a world closed to women—until determined pioneers pushed past the barriers of policy, prejudice, and doubt. This true story follows the women who fought to be seen as capable firefighters and the community that had to decide whether to embrace change. With vivid historical detail and a narrative pace that feels both urgent and inspiring, the book traces how recruitment, training, and hard-won acceptance reshaped the department from within. At its heart, it’s a story about courage, equality, and the power of persistence to transform institutions—and the lives they protect.
