Women at Sea

Women at sea or women in general in connection with the navy are unfortunately still a rather neglected topic, and so Margarette Lincoln, herself an author on this topic, once looked at the literature on this subject.  Here is the list she compiled and which I would like to pass on to you, as there are a few that deal with this topic.

- Bold in her Breeches: Women Pirates Across the Ages by Jo Stanley (1995) - The basic work that covers all women pirates through the centuries and geographically from Ireland to China.

- Female Tars: Women aboard Ship in the Age of Sail by Suzanne J. Stark ( 1996) - She deals in her book with three types of women on board, the whores, the officers’ wives and women in male disguise.

- Heroines and Harlots: Women at sea in the great age of sail, by David Cordingly (2001) - he looked at the archive material and was able to confirm that there were a very large number of women in England and America who went to sea. He also tries to include the role of men.

-British Sea Power: Representing the Navy, 1750-1815 by Margarette Lincoln (2002) - here she included a whole chapter devoted to how women saw the Navy. She continued this with her next book - Naval Wives and Mistresses (2007) and now tried to include letters and the social role.

- Naval Families : War and Duty in Britain. 1740- 1820 by Ellen Gills (2016) - Here individual families and their fates are highlighted.

- Enterprising Women and Shipping in the 19th century, by Helen Doe (2009) - She stays ashore in her book and highlights the maritime business in women’s hands.

- Sailors and Traders: a Maritime History of the Pacific Peoples, by Alastair Couper ( 2009) - Explores the sexual relationships of European sailors and indigenous South Sea island women in the 18th and 19th centuries. It also makes a connection to the whalers and the recruitment of almost exclusively female crews in the 20th century.

- From Cabin Boys to Captains- 250 years of women at sea, by Jo Stanley (2016) - Here she now reports on the life and work of female sailors.

- Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes and Privateers who ruled the seven seas, by Laura Sook Duncombe (2017) attempts to shed light on the lives of female pirates.

- Women and english piracy, 1540- 1720 : Partners and Victims of Crime, by John Appleby (2013) - moves away from the romanticised lives of female pirates and shows how women supported pirates and even started their own businesses. He also tried to dispel some of the myths.

This small list shows how little work has been done on this topic, although there are some small articles on individuals that have gradually appeared in naval history magazines. There is still a lot to be done in this area and more research is needed.

happy halloween & ieroween everyone <33

i've seen all the fan art of post-war caitlyn without her eyepatch and don't get me wrong, it's all absolutely beautiful fanartists ily and i am giving you a forehead kiss as we speak but i just have to say this:

i am obsessed w/ the idea that the eye scar is actually really grotesque and that her gauged out eye, even healed, is disturbing and uncomfortable for most people to look at.

my personal headcanons are:

caitlyn casually shows up without her eyepatch to meetings where she's trying to make a statement (or she just straight up takes it off at some point if her military expertise or detective abilities are being unacknowledged, questioned or underestimated), just to freak people out and remind them who lead the piltovians into war and aided councilor mel medarda in killing the noxian general - this is her new "i am a decorated officer, leader of house kiramman. adress me with respect or keep your mouth shut."

vi kisses the eye scar a lot and caitlyn doesn't have the heart to tell her she doesn't feel anything there (vi knows, that's not why she does it)

caitlyn doesn't wear the eyepatch around the house (except when working at the kiramman key projector or in front of the fireplace because her fucked up eye is sensitive to bright light and it gives her headaches; reading also does that to her after a while, so vi reads out loud for her and she loves listening to her voice) because vi quickly showers her with enough love to forget why she would even be self conscious abt the scar

these aren't mine, but i wanted to add them:

vi unconsciously develops the habit of always standing on caitlyn's right so no one can surprise her by approaching from her blind spot (caitlyn notices this but vi doesn't)

caitlyn is still able to shoot (well), it just takes her months to relearn it because of her changed depth perception, and she's hard on herself for it all the while - it deeply upsets her that she isn't immediately good at it again, as it is not only her calling but a part of her identity and a connection to her lineage
