Mermaids in History: Engendering Maritime Labour and Business History, 1700â1900
Series: - Brill's Studies in Maritime History, Volume: 20
Volume Editor:
This volume aims to âdefamiliariseâ the economic and social maritime history of Europe and North America by revealing womenâs roles and multifaceted contributions in the male-dominated maritime economic arena during industrial capitalist modernity. By questioning the âseparated spheresâ paradigm, the chapters in this volume highlight the intricate and âillogicalâ relation between women as economic actors and (maritime) capitalism and modernity. Far from being a clear-cut and linear trajectory, this relationship is rather outlined as a layered dialectical relationship that simultaneously considers the interaction of forms of oppression and liberation.
