3. Quickly read the text. Choose the best title for it.

As a young girl, Brenda Berkman always dreamt of becoming a firefighter, although she was aware of gender preference in favour of boys. In 1977, she applied for a firefighter’s position at the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).
Even though she was a marathon runner, she failed the physical test. But Brenda didn’t give up. She sued New York City and the FDNY for gender discrimination and won. A new ‘fairer’ test was created, so she and 40 other women passed. Brenda`s dream of becoming a firefighter came true. However, she and other female firefighters became the targets of laughter and anger from the co-workers and local people. They were unwelcomed at meals, faced loneliness and even violence.  
There weren`t any limitations on women’s service at FDNY. The women firefighters had to do exactly the same jobs as their male workers. To pursue a ‘man`s job’ Brenda Berkman and other women had to work very hard. They paid a heavy price to win equality. They were successful and even became the subjects of a documentary called Taking the Heat in 2006.
Brenda Berkman’s story shows that gender differences cannot prevent a person from pursuing a job. Success comes to those who have enough courage and will.
