Sitting on her couch, Sidneia Lusia da Silva, 30, waits for the day to begin in her little home off Redonda Beach in Icapuí, Brazil. With images painting the walls behind her, they describe her life as a fisherwoman. In a trade dominated by men, she chose the life of a fisherwoman because she was drawn to it. In a home she built and paid for from years of fishing, she’s tranquil. Single, she continues working at sea when she can, and doing massage to stay financially stable.
