The significant contribution of fisherwomen in the 19th century is displayed in 139 articles written by women from 1876 to 1900 published in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series. The book is divided into three parts (130,000 words): Sara McBride, renowned for her knowledge of the attraction between fish and insects, is prominently featured, including her seminal work on the metaphysics of fly-fishing, published in Forest and Stream magazine in 1876. McBride's artistic mastery and business acumen in the fly-tying industry are highlighted, underscoring women's proficiency in this artistic pursuit. Following McBride's articles, 25 women authors, including Mary Orvis Marbury, chronicle their fishing adventures, offering insights into angling for trout, bass, salmon, muskies, and more, in such diverse locales as Norway, Syria, California, Florida and Iowa. The latter half of the book pays homage to Cornelia T. Crosby, aka "Fly Rod" Crosby, Maine's esteemed fisherwoman, guide and promoter of the great outdoors. Divided into two parts, her articles span from 1884 to 1900, showcasing her adventurous spirit and profound impact on fishing, hunting, and conservation efforts in the State of Maine. Her column "Fly Rod's Notebook" published in The Phillips Phonograph newspaper, cement Crosby's legacy as a trailblazing outdoorswoman and promoter of field sports and are an enduring testament to her indomitable spirit. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Finalist for the 2017 Washington State Book Award in General Nonfiction / History The plaque said this was the winter fishing hut of Thurídur Einarsdóttir, one of Iceland's greatest fishing captains, and that she lived from 1777 to 1863. "Wait," anthropologist and former seawoman Margaret Willson said. "She??" So began a quest. Were there more Icelandic seawomen? Most Icelanders said no, and, after all, in most parts of the world fishing is considered a male profession. What could she expect in Iceland? She found a surprise. This book is a glimpse into the lives of vibrant women who have braved the sea for centuries. Their accounts include the excitement, accidents, trials, and tribulations of fishing in Iceland from the historic times of small open rowboats to today's high-tech fisheries. Based on extensive historical and field research, Seawomen of Iceland allows the seawomen's voices to speak directly with strength, intelligence, and - above all - a knowledge of how to survive. This engaging ethnographic narrative will intrigue both general and academic readers interested in maritime culture, the anthropology of work, Nordic life, and gender studies.

Anthropological studies of marine fishermen have explored immense diversity among fishing societies, and the management strategies of marine resources in the context of globalization and changing technologies deserve the utmost attention from researchers in an uncertain economy. In India, fishing communities belong to various different castes and religions. This book presents an anthropological study of Hindu marine fishermen in two neighboring fishing villages situated in the same coastal belt, but administered by two different state governments (Kerala and Pondicherry). It explores the ways in which state interventions influence the development paradigm of a marginalized society like marine fishermen, and discusses the distribution pattern of production systems and its significance at the household level. The book also considers the gendered forms of economic transformation in fishing due to declining marine resources, and technological and climate change. It also focuses on the role of women fish vendors in market spaces as instituted by their distribution and credit connections and the unique experiences of the development process through anxieties, compromises and survival in an uncertain economy. The book will be of interest to researchers, administrators and NGOs working for the inclusive development of marginalized communities sharing common property resources.

The Kaleidoscope of Gender: Prisms, Patterns, and Possibilities provides an accessible, timely, and stimulating overview of the cutting-edge literature and theoretical frameworks in sociology and related fields in order to understand the social construction of gender. The kaleidoscope metaphor and its three themes—prisms, patterns, and possibilities—unify topic areas throughout the book. By focusing on the prisms through which gender is shaped, the patterns which gender takes, and the possibilities for social change, the reader gains a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationships with others, both locally and globally. Editors Catherine Valentine, Mary Nell Trautner and the work of Joan Spade focus on the paradigms and approaches to gender studies that are constantly changing and evolving. The Sixth Edition includes incorporation of increased emphasis on global perspectives, updated contemporary social movements, such as #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo, and an updated focus on gendered violence.
