Discussion #5 – Brenda Berkman – First Female Firefighter
Brenda Berkman was the first female firefighter for the New York City Fire Department and to achieve that she single-handedly sued the City of New York for unfair labor practices and discrimination in not allowing women to become a firefighter. More recently she has been speaking out about the lack of recognition women received for their part in serving and dying on 9/11.
Two years ago Ms. Berkman participated in Cerritos College Women’s History month with a compelling interview of her story.
