1:17 Anything a man can do..a woman might do differently and that's a positive as far as the women who work in the construction industry are concerned. 'Celebrating Women in Construction' is a photo exhibition organised by NAWIC: National Association of Women in Construction which launches at Thistle Hall gallery this week. Their goal is to showcase the diversity of roles and contribution that women are making in all aspects of the industry; archaeology, plastering, engineering, carpentry, abseil painting and more. Sonia Sly meets some of the women who have become reluctant poster girls for the exhibition.
