"An altogether fascinating account of the joys and perils of the women who sailed with their ship-captain husbands...seen through Druett's lively and sometimes poignant accounts, the word that comes to mind to describe the women is that somewhat old-fashioned one: spunky...a necessity on any well-stocked shelf of maritime narratives and reference works."
