Hellish work place

The author worked in the oil sands in western Canada from 2005-2008. Environmental concerns were not prevalent at that time, but just beginning. So, this is not so much a book about the environment and the petroleum industry as it is about what it is like to be a woman working in an almost all-male environment. She survived, but it was not easy. Well written and illustrated.
