Women making a life at sea may not have always identified as working-class (just as upper servants ddn't). But on ship they worked seven days a week. And gendered discrimination created obstacles. See their story in my new book, out Feb 19. 👍

Virginia Oliver, who for years was the oldest licensed lobster trapper in Maine, has died at 105. “She was a living piece of Maine’s maritime history,” the Maine Lobster Festival said in a statement.
Maine’s legendary ‘lobster lady’ dies at 105: ‘More than a local icon’ - The Boston Globe
“When I first started, there weren’t any women but me,” Mrs. Oliver told the Globe in 2021, when she was still lobstering at 101.

The first book published by Crampton-Moorhouse was this in 2004. It is now out of print and we only have a very few copies left. I am sure you won't want to spend the absurd $$ shown on Amazon!
