Synopsis
THE Lady Tars Out of Print for over 200 Years, the original text of three of the most remarkable naval biographies ever written. We know that women served as sailors in the Royal Navy as early as 1650. Unfortunately, what little we know of these women is based largely on second- and third-hand accounts and deductions. In general, few seamen (and even fewer sea-women) knew how to write. As a result, there exists no first-hand, autobiographical, accounts-with three exceptions.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Like New paperback with illustrated covers. 'Brings together the remarkable autobiographical accounts of three women who lived and served as men in the eighteenth-century British armed forces. Their experiences include service in the Royal Navy and Marines, naval battles, shipboard life and shipbuilding, providing unusual first-hand perspectives on women at sea during the age of sail.' The book measures 9" x 6", and it has 186 pages. The Fireship Press brought the original texts of all three accounts together in a single volume; and they describe them as the three surviving first-hand autobiographical accounts of this kind. The covers and contents are pristine. Like New. N° de réf. du vendeur 21032
