"An inspiring and necessary reminder that women are thriving in the world of outdoor adventure."--Sojourner

"A thoroughly enjoyable read."--Books of the Southwest

A story of romance between women and a place, profiling eleven of the first professional women river guides in the Grand Canyon and weaving together their various experiences in their own words. All the boatwomen have stories to tell of how they first came to the Canyon and why they stayed. Some speak of how they balanced their passion for being in the Canyon against the frustration of working in a traditionally male-oriented occupation.
