New York City taxi driver Melissa Plaut poses in front of her cab in New York's Times Square August 28, 2007. Women make up about one percent of New York City's 44,280 taxi drivers, also known as hacks, and for the past three years Plaut, 32, has been one of them, driving the night shift mainly around Manhattan, taking the occasional trip into New York's other famous boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Now she has written about her experiences in the book "Hack -- How I Stopped Worrying About What To Do With My Life And Started Driving A Yellow Cab". Picture taken August 28, 2007.
