Breaking barriers (feat. Brenda Berkman) - a podcast by Mike Lewis / Macmillan

Brenda Berkman abandoned her law career just as it was getting started to take one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet: A firefighter. Berman's jump wasn't just risky, though: It was also historic. New York City's first woman firefighter talks about her fight to be allowed in the fire department, the struggles she faced once there, and how she has continued to take jumps throughout her life.
