Finding Their Own Voices

James Mitchell presents a series of biographical sketches and interviews of more than thirty Maine women who have all carved out meaningful careers for themselves. The women shared their stories and dreams with Mitchell to celebrate their and other womens accomplishments. Although their stories and fields of endeavor ranging from commercial fishing (Linda Greenlaw), to writing (Kate Barnes), to government service (Chellie Pingree) are different, the women all celebrate the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. What they have in common is intelligence, passion, enthusiasm, and a firm belief in their abilities. Black and white photographs accompany each profile.
