The remarkable creatures in this book could be the fossils that are found, cleaned, studied, treasured, sold, and debated. However, just as remarkable are the women who loved to roam the beaches, finding new specimens. Their friendship and relationships with others are a major part of the story, as well as the role of women and religion in this time period. Students of science and women's studies will enjoy this book. This book is a great find for fossil hunters or fossil lovers. As a woman, I was glad that I was not born in those times. The first few chapters may seem slow, but it is worthwhile to read to the end.
