By Dee Pigneguy. In Oblong Softcovers, First Edition 2001, black and White Photographs, illustrations, 160 Pages, Published By VIP Publications Auckland. A Very Good Plus Copy. 'Saltwater in Her hair captures the personal stories of women who have accepted the challenge of achieving success at sea. No stranger to the sea herself, Dee Pigneguy writes with compassion and authority, as she herself has had to confront many of the challenges these women have faced when choosing to be part of the maritime industry. The book is not just about frilly things hanging in the engineroom, or being better than men, rather it's about recognising the challenges men would not normally face. it is an insight into dealing with harassment, developing relationships, maintaining marriages and caring for children while continuing to work in their chose sea-going careers. Saltwater In Her hair makes a valuable contribution to this country's maritime history' Keith Ingram.
