Uh-Maze-Ing. Who knew there was this history, where the women truly were the bread winners, where the women were proud to go swimming when the water was literally freezing, where the women had to survive death everyday from an octopus (actually, more than one but I didn't know how to spell it), to little animals that will snap the divers (what the sea women did) to rocks and keep them down until they run out of breath. Oh yeah, and did I mention that they held their breath to get the food? But really, the book is also about how the women survived the war and the changes of government that tried to control their spirits. This is not a happy go lucky book, but it definitely did work on the heart and the strength of women. Go Sea Women!
