Women's work gets redefined

Story from Calgary Herald

CALGARY- Camille Cederlund steps out of her car-painting booth and sheds her overalls, hood, face mask and respirator.

Without her work gear she is a blond, finely boned Swedish woman, daubed here and there with paint, who draws stares from passersby.

She and a handful of other women compete in traditionally male-dominated trades at WorldSkills Calgary 2009.

That’s because there’s not that many of them, although that is slowly changing, say experts.
