"Ahoy! To man a lighthouse over a century ago in America required guts, courage, and bravery. It was a job tackled by hundreds every day, many of whom ... were not men! This true tale chronicles the amazing feats of four fascinating women. Each real lighthouse lady featured in this book -- whether she's on a wind-walloped Hawaiian clifftop or an icy channel off the Virginia coast -- shows that girl power was around long before it became a popular phrase."-- Provided by publisher.
