Description A fishwife or fish fag is a woman who sells fish. Such women were notoriously loud and foul-mouthed as in the proverb, To swear like a fishwife. One reason for their outspokenness is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly.

In many countries, the fishwife was proverbial for her sharp tongue and outspoken speech. In Medieval France, the ones in Paris were known for their special privilege of being able to speak frankly to the King himself, when he ventured into the marketplace, and voice criticism without fear of punishment.

I really like this image, especially since you used the fish image as stepping stones. The nice dress conveys to me the idea that being a fishwife is just what she does and not who she really is. Many people do a job due to necessity only until something better comes along. I have done many different jobs in my life but I don't believe that they have ever defined who I am.
