My travel in the indigenous villages of the Upper Amazon of Peru was an amazing experience. My time spend with indigenous families was thrilling and educational. The women showed me their ceremonies; how they wove baskets and how they caught fish by hand. Women play an important social and economic role in the indigenous communities of the Amazonian rainforest. They maintain their families' health care and food security. This book's real life color illustrations shows their resilience and accomplishments in spite of the pressures from modern way of life. Women play a unique role in Amazonian tribal society. The color photos in this fascinating book follow women from childhood to advance years, and demonstrates the role they play in bonding the Amazonian Sisterhood. This adventurous and educational book is recommended for the whole family--particular mothers and their daughters--school curriculum, community libraries and collectors of the Amazon Exploration Series.
