Women make up 40 percent of cooks in professional kitchens — but only 21 percent of executive chefs. We went to Los Angeles to talk with Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken about how they broke gender barriers and climbed to the top of the culinary world.

Hosted by Noor Tagouri, "A Woman's Job" is a six-part original series focused on women who are paving their own way in industries dominated by men. New episodes are available each Wednesday morning anywhere you watch Newsy.
