Here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nThe book explores the stories of women whose lives were inextricably linked to the sea. These include the women of sailortowns, like Bristol, who were struggling to keep out of the dreaded workhouse and resisting the prowling press gangs. Also, the courageous and skilful cross-dressing women sailors, some from Bristol, who went to extraordinary lengths to hide their gender.

Rosemary will discuss their adventures and inevitable exposure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
