Скачать или смотреть The Glass That Built a Future

Lancashire, 1918. Mary, 14, carries heavy glass tubes. Father at war, mother sick. Foreman Collins watches her struggle. "Too much for a girl," workers say. But Collins sees determination. Takes her aside: "I'll teach you glass-cutting. Better pay, skilled work." Workers protest: "Girls can't cut glass!" Collins: "Watch her." Teaches her after shifts. Hands sore, she persists. Month three: cuts perfect sheets. Promoted. First female glass-cutter at Pilkington. 1965: Dame Mary Collins (took his surname in gratitude) opens Britain's first technical school for women. Portrait in entrance: her carrying that tube. Plaque: "Strength isn't what you carry—it's who helps you set it down." Sometimes one person believing changes everything. Follow for more.
