Description
"A daring and magnificent account of Iceland's most famous female sea captain who constantly fought for women's rights and equality-- and who also solved one of the country's most notorious robberies. Many people may have heard the old sailing superstition that having women onboard a ship was bad luck. Thus, the sea remains in popular knowledge a male realm. When we think of examples of daring sea captains, swashbuckling pirates, or wise fishermen, many men come to mind. Cultural anthropologist Margaret Willson would like to introduce a fearless woman into our imagination of the sea: Thuraidur Einarsdaottir. Captain Thuraidur was a controversial woman constantly contesting social norms while simultaneously becoming a respected captain fighting for dignity and equality for under represented Icelanders. Both horrifying and magnificent, this story will captivate readers from the first page and keep them thinking long after they turn the last page"--,Provided by publisher.
