The Island of Sea Women is a historical fiction about  female divers of Jeju Island of South Korea. It is a matriarchal society. Some of the active divers are in their 80s and 90s. The youngest is believed to be in her 50s. In about fifteen years, this culture will likely vanish as the divers die off or retire.
