Through photographs and interviews, Moon Tides introduces the reader to these extraordinary women in their own voices and in their own environments.     A selection of Brenda's images were included in IMOW's juried photography exhibition, Picturing Power & Potential. Her submission, "Jeju Grannies of the Sea", won the Picturing Power & Potential Community Choice Award.
