Female Mohawk ironworkers are shattering stereotypes that the trade is solely a “man’s job.” Tiffany Johnson is ready to prove she isn’t afraid of heights or some heavy lifting on her first day of the Akwesasne apprenticeship-training program. Retired ironworker Janice Albany reflects on her days of overseeing an all-women painting gang on the Mercier Bridge. And Lu Ann Styres from Six Nations is determined to hold the title of being the oldest female ironworker.
