Abstract

“I was surprised how stressed women are.... Some of the interviews broke my heart.” This community-based researcher had heard from young women depressed by their futures and from women exhausted by work, family and community responsibilities—with only memories of days when their husbands were proud and independent fishermen. She was one of 10 community- based researchers who worked along with our research team on a participatory action research project, conducted in six Nova Scotian coastal communities in 1999-2000.
