Description

Big Heart, Strong Hands: A Meeting with the Older Women and Culture on Kihnu & Manija Islands, Estonia

This photo essay presents a unique glimpse into the lives of the women living on the Estonian islands of Kihnu and Manija. For centuries, their strong sense of community spirit has developed in isolation, shaped by a steadfast attachment to ancestral customs.

Here, the older women take care of almost everything on land as their husbands travel the seas, creating a fascinating glimpse into a society often viewed as one of the last matriarchal communities in Europe. Through stunning photographs, Anne Helene Gjelstad shares this remarkable culture with us.
