Description: She Captains by Joan Druett Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Druett restores important and long-lost chapters in maritime history. It also is great reading, especially for those who love tales of risk, glory, gritty adventure, and action-packed history." Karin Winegar, Minneapolis Star-Tribune Publisher Description Long before women had the right to vote, earn money, or have lives of their own, "she captains" -- bold women distinguished for courageous enterprise on the high seas -- thrilled and terrorized their shipmates, performed acts of valor, and pirated with the best of their male counterparts. From the warrior queens of the sixth century b.c. to the female shipowners influential in opening the Northwest Passage, She Captains brings together a real-life cast of characters whose audacity and bravado will capture the imagination. In her inimitable style, Joan Druett paints a vivid portrait of real women who were drawn to the oceans beauty -- and danger -- and dared to captain ships of their own. Author Biography Joan Druett, an award-winning writer of nautical nonfiction, is the author of numerous works, including Hen Frigates and In the Wake of Madness. She lives in New Zealand.
