Heads above water : gender, class, and family in the Grand Forks flood

Summary: "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 disasters 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 faced-to-face with social and familial upheaval, emotional and physical trauma, precarious economic and social status, and feelings of loss and violation."--Jacket.
