And after the Cross-Dressed Cabin Boys and Whaling Wives

Women's maritime historiography--the study of women and gender relations in relation to the sea--is part of maritime history, women's studies, and gender studies. 'Gender' is taken to mean differences that are socially constructed, not biological in origin, as is someone's sex. This article deals with both the putting of women into historical account and the analysis of the gendered discourses and images pertaining to the sea, ships, sailing, and coastal zones. It looks at both the labor history of female workers on ship and in port, and at the wider questions of women's gendered relationships with the sea. The focus is on the study of women and gender involved in this one particular form of transportation, rather than within more general contexts such as gendered access to mobility. Part I summarizes the gains and challenges made in maritime historiography; and Part II explores proposals for some new conceptual approaches
