Book excerpt: 'Ki aku tipuna he mihi tenei ki a koutou. Arahitia matou i runga i tenei huarahi. To our ancestors – I greet you – take us on this journey about our women who have gone before and who have achieved marvellous deeds that will inspire our young people of today.' In Manawa Hine (literally, 'stout-hearted women'), Queenie Rikihana celebrates four young women – Kahe te Rau o te Rangi, Hinepoupou, Huria Matenga and Pania of Hukarere – who had the courage to overcome insurmountable odds. In all cases their actions involved swimming in the sea and trusting in their tipuna to be with them in times of peril. Lovingly told, with striking line drawings by artist Sarah Wairau, these are stories that will inspire, entertain and remain with the reader.
