Isabel Letham, Mary Ann Hawkins, Linda Benson, Joyce Hoffman, Rell Sunn, Lisa Andersen, Rhonda Harper, Maryam El Gardoum and Justine Dupont: these nine women have forever marked the history of surfing. Paola Hirou portrays them over time, from the late 1920s to the present. Thanks to her illustrations, she transports us directly to the heart of the waves and she introduces us to these impressive athletes, who have continued to demonstrate how much women matter in the world of surfing.
