Blacksmiths are rare enough these days. Women blacksmiths even more so. In a profession steeped in masculine stereotypes, Lisa Geertsen brings something unique to her metalworking. 

Hosted by Noor Tagouri, "A Woman's Job" is a six-part original series focused on women who are paving their own way in industries dominated by men. New episodes are available each Wednesday morning anywhere you watch Newsy.
