The inspiring true story of an extraordinary young woman who triumphed in a man's world, making history in the process.<br/><br/>Signing up to the Fire Brigade in 1981, Josephine Reynolds was Britain's first ever female firefighter. Her life of service saw her fight the fiercest forest fires in a generation, explosion at a petro-chemical plant and a chauvinistic, macho culture that didn't believe she was up to the job.<br/><br/>In order to be accepted by the men who risked their lives alongside her, she had to become one of them - whether this meant crawling on hands and knees through rat-infested sewage tunnels, or downing pints with the boys after a shift.<br/><br/>Moving and uplifting, this story of one extraordinary woman's life is guaranteed to make readers laugh, cry and smile.
