500    "The true story of how women joined the FDNY" -- Cover. 
504    Includes bibliographical references. 
520    "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." -- Amazon.com.
