In 1968, 1 percent of the New York Police Department was female. When Kathy Burke joined the NYPD's ranks in June of that year she was one of only ten women in a class of 950 recruits.

By turns caustic, funny, and matter-of-fact, Kathy Burke describes what it was like for a young woman to be surrounded by often hostile male officers and the uphill battle she fought to prove herself and earn their respect.
