In 1969 Gloucester fishermen’s wives formed an association to fight federal regulations that favored large corporations and would have destroyed their local fishing industry. Since then, the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association has become an international model for conserving and protecting valuable fish stocks and a working waterfront for future generations. Through their dedication, solidarity and faith, these remarkable women have endured numerous hardships, obstacles, and tragedies with strength of spirit and grace.
“Another dream come true!” said Angela Sanfillipo of the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association. “The GFWA always dreamed of having their story told in a play. To be a musical is even better. We hope that our message of commitment and hard work carries far and wide across the globe. The same issues that we have been battling for the last 41 years are being fought all around the world. People call us from across the country and around the world for advice and support."
