Producers quote and photos of women working as machinists and heavy equipment operators — Not every woman will choose a nontraditional career, but every girl and woman should have the information so she can consider it. —Jocelyn Riley, Producer, Her Own Words®

“All speak confidently about the work they do and why they like it. The series underscores the excitement and growth potential of career choices and changes. The concept throughout is that the women who do the work are the experts.” –Labor Studies Journal
