Five veteran women in the FDNY’s Emergency Medical Service have settled a 2006 sex-discrimination lawsuit, walking away with more than $1.2 million.

The women claimed they repeatedly hit a “glass ceiling” when they applied for advancement.

Capt. Amy Monroe, a 9/11 responder featured in the documentary and book “Women at Ground Zero,” and four others will get a total $1 million in back wages from the city, plus $261,500 in additional damages, says a settlement order obtained by The Post.

The city will also pay their lawyers at least $525,000 in fees.

Monroe, Lt. Mary Dandridge, Lt. Irene Kruiten, Capt. Kathleen Gonczi and Capt. Adrienne Knight charged the good-old-boy network barred them from climbing the FDNY ladder.

While promotions up to lieutenant are based on a written civil-service exam, appointments to captain, deputy or assistant chief and above are made at the whims of brass.

“It’s not what you know, but who you know,” a male insider said.

The FDNY admits no fault, but agrees to ensure job opportunities are “disbursed equally to men and women” and remain posted for at least two weeks.
