TEL AVIV – Twirling to hip hop over chasms of steel and glass, soapy squeegee in one hand and a smartphone in the other, Noa Toledo is an Israeli social media star who aims to encourage other women to take on her traditionally male-dominated job.

The 22-year-old window washer’s high-rise dance routines have earned close to 60,000 followers and more than a million “likes” on TikTok.
“When people see me behind the window, they’re surprised. They see a woman, it’s unusual,” Toledo, a former champion pole-vaulter, told Reuters.

“I don’t know a lot of women doing this job, but I hope when they see me they understand that women can do it too.”
