GUARDED
Women, Water, and Saving Lives
GUARDED takes readers inside the hidden world of California’s first women ocean lifeguards.
Every beach was run by men who claimed the biggest surf and the gnarliest conditions. Women were met with raised eyebrows: Can she cut it here?
On a cold, foggy morning in 1978, eighteen-year-old Debbie Friedman stood in the sand at Huntington Beach with one hundred men. The starting gun fired. She charged into the surf—and into a new life.
