Description: Renowned Maine artist, Susan Tobey White, creates portraits and biographies of eighteen real Maine lobsterwomen (and girls) as they take joy in working "a man's job" on the water on the rough Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Maine.
Review Quotes: In her book Lobstering Women of Maine, Susan Tobey White has absolutely captured what is impossible to articulate in words. Each portrait embodies the inherent contradiction of beauty and sheer grit. In an industry considered by most ot be male-dominated, Susan Tobey White's female subjects scream "outnumbered, never dominated." without speaking a single syllable. A celebration of love of life on the water!--Linda Greenlaw, bestselling author of books with maritime themes and the only female swordfishing boat captain on the East Coast of the United States. She was featured in the 1997 book The Perfect Storm and the film The Perfect Storm.
