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.
