In ALASKA WOMEN WRITE, women dispel the myth. They learn to fly, work on the pipeline, teach in the Bush, raft wild rivers, discover a love for sport-fishing, and tangle with moose and grizzly bears. These energetic, thoughtful, and very personal stories are written from the heart with passion, humor, self-discovery, and a love of the north. This collection was edited by award-winning crime novelist Dana Stabenow, creator of the Kate Shugak series, who contributes her own story about growing up pn a 75-foot fish tender in the Gulf of Alaska.
