Heads above Water tells the stories of women and their families who
survived the Grand Forks, North Dakota, flood of 1997, one of the
worst natural disaster in U.S. history. This book describes the
challenges women faced and explores the importance of class, race,
gender, sexual orientation, and disability in their disaster
recovery. The women found themselves face-to-face with social and
familial upheaval, emotional and physical trauma, precarious
economic and social status, and feelings of loss and violation. By
exploring the experiences of these women, author Alice Fothergill
contributes to broader sociological discussions about women's
changing roles, the stigma of needing and receiving assistance,
family relationships under stress, domestic violence, downward
mobility, and the importance of "home" to one's identity and sense
of self. Heads above Water offers poignant insight into women's
everyday lives in an extraordinary time.
