Before the women of the NYPD became
"Police Officers" in 1973 they held
the title of Policewoman and were not
assigned to regular patrol duties-
but they were still cops!
1968 - the Columbia riots
Two policewomen carry out a "protester" -
in uniform skirts and heels!
Who says these women had it easy?
