Truly remarkable portraitsof courage.' John van Amerongen, editor, Alaska Fisherman'sJournal'These littleknown talesof women working in Alaska's commercial fishing industry make for greatreading. . . . Readers will be amazed by their stories.' LaineWelch, Alaska Fish Radio'A richly textured story,a multigenre text that invites readers to witness women's conversationwith America's last frontier, Alaska.' Patricia Foster, Universityof IowaWhy do women choose an occupationthat has been ranked the most dangerous in the nation? What do women giveupand get in returnwhen they take on the tasks of fishermen? TheEntangling Net explores these issues through the stories of twentywomen who have chosen to work in this extremely risky, maledominatedprofession.Leslie Leyland Fields lyricallyweaves their stories with her own experiences as a fishing woman. Shetells of long, exhausting days in skiffs, catching fish in brutally coldweather on waters that are often violent. Her words and those of the womenshe interviews convey the paradoxical relationship the women have withcommercial fishing: they face extraordinarily difficult working conditionsmade more difficult and dangerous by male crews and skippers who don'twelcome women, yet they feel impelled by the challenge of the work toreturn to their jobs season after season.
