Seafaring Women Through History | Jo Stanley | Paperback
Taxes incluses
Ships have never been exclusively male worlds, even when their official histories suggested otherwise. Jo Stanley follows women’s experiences in the Merchant Navy and Royal Navy, from those who disguised themselves or found indirect routes aboard to the captains and senior professionals of more recent times.
Drawing on interviews and a broad range of historical sources, this updated account considers work, opportunity and the barriers women encountered at sea. Its subjects include the people who kept ships running as well as those who commanded them. Published in 2026, this paperback broadens a maritime collection beyond vessels and battles, restoring attention to the working lives and ambitions of the women who sailed.
