    Women in charge By AMY HORTON
    A sister for the brotherhood 'It's not for every man,' Harriet Smith says of her chosen profession, 'and it's not for every woman.'

    On Dec. 9, 2002, Mrs. Smith officially broke the ranks of a long-standing 'brotherhood' when she was appointed business representative for the Carpenters, Millwrights and Piledrivers Local No. 865, a Brunswick-based union with some 400 members from a 21-county area of South Georgia who work throughout the state, across the country and as far afield as Puerto Rico.

    Ten of those members are women.
