Breaking Into the Current: Boatwomen of the Grand Canyon Tapa blanda - 1996

de Louise Teal


Descripción de contraportada

Breaking into the Current is 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. As river guides in love with the Canyon and their work, these women have followed their hearts. "I've done a lot", says boatwoman Becca Lawton, "but there's been nothing like holding those oars in my hands and putting my boat exactly where I wanted it. Nothing".

Acerca del autor

Louise Teal is a writer who has been published in Arizona Highways, Backpacker, and Mountain Bike magazines. Teal writers about these boatwomen because she's one of them. She began working as a swamper (assistant motor boatman, as they called it) in 1972. She started rowing commercially in the Grand Canyon in 1974, and in 1978, she led the first all-women's Grand Canyon trip. The next year she worked as the first woman river ranger for Grand Canyon's National Park Service. This summer, as she's done every summer for the last twenty-plus years, she will be back on the river.
