Firestarters: 100 Job Profiles to Inspire Young Women

By Kelly Beatty and Dale Salvaggio Bradshaw
Firestarters are women blazing their own trails to fulfilling careers that complement the lives they want to lead. This inspiring book describes interesting professions and fascinating new careers of 100 real, strong women, most in their twenties and thirties, who are in exciting and occasionally nontraditional jobs.
Among them are photographers, opera singers, marine biologists, government officials, medical professionals, engineers, business executives, costume designers, attorneys, scientists, chefs, authors, and many more.
These amazing but ordinary women share their insights on their careers, such as what their jobs involve; what they like and dislike most about their work; what education, experience, and characteristics it took to get them where they are; and advice to young women who might want to follow in their footsteps. 240 pages.
