Half Good, Half a Disappointment,
By
This review is from: Iron Men, Wooden Women: Gender and Seafaring in the Atlantic World, 1700-1920 (Gender Relations in the American Experience) (Paperback)
I enjoyed the first half of this book, as it discussed women at sea in the age of sail, and the lives of sailors' wives ashore. The second half, however, tried to examine race and class through a lens of gender -- none of the essays persuaded me of the basic premise that gender was a good way to examine how men regarded each other. The book might have been better had it stuck to its original focus of women at sea and ashore in the Age of Sail.
