Seawomen of Iceland : survival on the edge

Margaret Willson (Author)
"Seawomen of Iceland offers a glimpse into the hidden lives of the vibrant and courageous fisherwomen who have braved the sea in Iceland for centuries. Their accounts include the excitement, accidents, trials and tribulations of fishing in the Nordic island-nation from the historic times of small, open rowboats to the complex and technologically advanced fisheries of today. The seawomen's voices speak with universal insight-- of strength, determination, intelligence, and above all, a knowledge of how to survive"--Inside jacket
