Praise
“This is a book to inform, stimulate, and amuse—an irresistible diversion.”
—Baltimore Sun
One of the best books of 2001*
“A valuable addition to nautical literature and a useful contribution to the study of women’s history….[Cordingly’s] book leaves no doubt that women have played a far larger role in the nautical life than is commonly understood.”
—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post*
“Cordingly transcends the ideological limits of gender history and brings a world to life.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Revisionism at its most delightful. With no particular gospel to preach, Cordingly works his way through layer after layer of overlooked and unconnected written records, finding evidence of women almost everywhere.”
—Houston Chronicle
“Cordingly brings a wide range of research together in one expansive volume.”
—Boston Herald
