Opis

Lighthouses are an endearing symbol of our nation s§nautical past. However, these structures are quickly§disappearing from the landscape and with them often§go their history and the important part that they§played in the development of the United States. The§stories of the men and women who cared for these§structures during their times of use are also lost.§This book examines the often overlooked role of the§female lighthouse keeper. Female keepers were women§who took on a traditionally masculine position. They§held a government job and performed intense physical§labor at a time when women were considered incapable§of such jobs. This study examines the history of§individual female lighthouse keepers and the§contributions they made within the context of§maritime history and public policy, as these issues§related to American and British society over the last§200 years. It also considers the affects that§governmental changes had on these women and what role§they have played in popular culture both in the past§and today.
