PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
In 1978, Nattalia Lea became the first woman to graduate from the University of British Columbia with a bio-resources engineering degree - an era when less than 0.5% of Canadian professional engineers were female. Then 26 years later, in 2004, after four engineering job terminations and a 16-year journalism stint, this working-class woman makes a comeback into Alberta's oil patch boardrooms. Lady with the Iron Ring is the heartwarming, witty and tell-all memoir of a woman with a mission who didn't recognize it as one at the time....
