Description
by Joan Druett (Author)
It was not just the men who lived on the brink of peril under sail at sea. Lucretia Jansz, who was enslaved as a concubine in 1629, was just one woman who endured a castaway experience. Award-winning historian Joan Druett (Island of the Lost, Tupaia, The Discovery of Tahiti) relates the stories of women who survived remarkable challenges, from heroines like Mary-Ann Jewell, the 'governness' of a sub-Antarctic island, to Millie Jenkins, whose ship was sunk by a whale.

--WOOK KIM, Entertainment Weekly
