\"You're already trying to prove yourself as a female in a male-dominated career,\" Vivi Rodriguez, a firefighter and paramedic, told \"GMA.\" \"And it's really hard when what you're complaining about is that your pants don't fit or your gloves don't fit.\"

Rodriguez said that when she wears clothing from SeeHerWork, she doesn't have to worry about \"a glove falling off during overhaul or my clothing being see-through because I'm sweating.\"

\"I'm able to focus on the job that I'm trying to do.\"

Paving the way for the next generation

Some encouraging words other women gave Henry within these focus groups were:

\"'We cannot wait for this gear to come out so we can perform,\" she said they have told her. \"We can pull up the next level, the next generation that's going to come in behind us.'\"
