Fisherwomen - Tug of War

The coastal women didn't let the men down. They were there to help in any way necessary.

Author of ‘Women Heroes of World War II’, Kathryn J. Atwood wrote:

“…most of these women - the famous and the obscure - had one thing in common: they did not think of themselves as heroes. They followed their consciences, saw something that needed to be done, and they did it. And all of them helped win a war, even though many of them paid the ultimate price for their contribution.”
