This lively yet scholarly book reveals an unsuspected history of women at sea, from women pirates and daring cabin "boys" under sail to today's rear-admirals and weapons experts on nuclear submarines. Historically, women wanting to sail in their own right faced many challenges. They were rejected as nuisances and outsiders, trespassing into the male maritime tribe. Today they command cruise ships and are becoming commodores. This comprehensive work looks at both the merchant and royal navies, explaining women's progression from outsider to master"--with male shipmates as obstacles and helping hands. Using interviews and sources never before published, Jo Stanley vividly reveals the incredible journey across time taken by women at sea.

About the author (in her own words…)

For my day job, I am co-host of breakfast radio show, Jo and Lehmo on Gold 104.3 in Melbourne. Combined with the decade I spent as one half of the No 1 rating Matt and Jo Show, I’ve had over 10 years interviewing superstars, making celebrities out of local listeners and crossing the boundaries of sharing Too Much Information.

I am also a comedian, writer, actor and presenter. I appear regularly on all networks of Australian television, where I always aim to be honest, smart and funny. I write for newspapers around the country, and I pride myself on my excellent grammar, even in SMS communication. As an actor, I dream of playing Cruella Deville.

I love Aussie Rules Footy, fashion, highlighting women’s issues, my husband Daz and my daughter Willow, sit-coms, parties and post-it notes. I have more plans than there is time in the day, which is why my house is never clean.
