"An introductory handbook for women who want to fish." This book is "...the only guidebook written specifically for the woman interested in freshwater and saltwater fishing techniques, sites and equipment. ...Complete with a comprehensive, up-to-date directory of suppliers, fishing organizations, guides, lodges, and a suggested reading list, ...indispensible for women who want to fish."
