Marina Starovojtowa made history as the first woman to captain a nuclear icebreaker. She used to be a Russian teacher in a small town. Friends told her about jobs on ships in the Arctic.
She started working on the ship 'Sovyetskiy Soyuz' in 2005. Her first trip lasted eleven months. She worked hard and got better jobs on the ship.
Now she is captain of the 'Yamal' icebreaker. This ship has 75,000 horsepower and a special shark mouth design. Russia has the only nuclear icebreaker ships in the world.
They help ships move through ice and do research. Only one other woman has a similar important job. This shows that women can do difficult jobs on ships too.
