This classic study by the author of Battle Cries and Lullabies presents the whole panorama of women at sea. Warriors and whalers, traders and seagoing housewives, privateers and present day adventurers are captured in an exciting and often inspiring narrative.

Discusses women's traditional roles - and the few who defied tradition - on pirate, warships, whalers, and merchant vessels throughout history. Love reading about badass women. Interesting look at the continuation of victorian society onto the high seas. (
