     The chapters are roughly in chronological order - the story and writings  of each waterwoman are an individual chapter.  The writings/stories are original for  each women, and are not in response to interview questions.

     There will be approximately eight to twelve chapters. Each chapter is illustrated with photographs.  Each photograph has a detailed, two to three paragraph description.  This descriptions is distilled from interviews with each waterwoman, which are independent of, and separate from the stories of the waterwomen.
