Angela forwarded on the email she had received from Shannon. Shannon thought I should talk to Margie, who Shannon said "... has literally done everything from being a crew member on a sailboat off Tel Aviv, to being a fisheries observer on Russian Factory Trawlers, to an acountant, to being the Commanding Officer of HMCS CABOT." Wow, I bet Margie could tell us a thing or two about being a woman in non-traditional work. So, Shannon, you're entered in the contest too.

How non-traditional should it be? Would this suit the contest for the books?" And yes, Rosalind, if you think it is non-traditional, then it's good for the contest.

My husband works at a dealership too where women are by far the minority in sales. And a woman is one of their top salespeople as well (at her dealership and in her whole region). Thanks, Erin!

She's been at a few dealerships and is always the only female. And, if I may brag, is one of their most consistently successful sellers too. :) --Erin I don’t know how universally non-traditional it is, but my sister-in-law works in car sales in South Dakota.

Thanks so much! Yes, we all have to be thankful to those who came before. Even as a writer in Newfoundland, I owe a debt of gratitude to all the great female Newfoundland writers who made it possible for me to believe I could do it too. Better late than never, Natalie!

I'm an engineer (female!), and I love my job. I know I'm very lucky to be part of the newer generation of engineer (softer, kinder, better social skills...) and I am grateful to the women engineers who went before me. (Some of the stories just make me ashamed of the human race!) Because of these women, I get to have a fantastic workplace, with colleagues I respect, and who respect me. Thanks to the ladies who have come before! Hi Tina,

Great contest (I really, really meant to enter it BEFORE the last day…)

I’m an engineer (female!), and I love my job. I know I’m very lucky to be part of the newer generation of engineer (softer, kinder, better social skills…) and I am grateful to the women engineers who went before me. (Some of the stories just make me ashamed of the human race!) Because of these women, I get to have a fantastic workplace, with colleagues I respect, and who respect me.

Thanks to the ladies who have come before!
