Here is a cross-cultural collection of essays (e.g. Brazil, Newfoundland, Portugal, India,
Scotland, Malaysia, Peru) that challenges popular images of women in fishing communities.
". . . very important to anthropologists and others engaged in women's studies: the question
of women's status, roles, and relationships with men in settings frequently characterized by the
division of labour is not at all unique to fishing communities, although they provide excellent
ways to study it."--Anthropologica
"This fine collection questions the assumption that in fishing communities 'men must work
and women must weep' . . . consistently interesting, finely honed chapters that
effectively integrate maritime anthropology with gender studies in a cross-cultural
context."--American Anthropologist.
