Women Who Go to Sea

Working in the Commercial Fishing Industry

Ilene M. Kaplan

In this article I offer a glimpse into the activities, backgrounds and motivations of women who are involved in commercial deep sea fishing operations. Unlike traditional fishermen, women who fish commercially do not come from a background of fishing families, nor do the women experience much anticipatory socialization for the role of fisher. Women fishers are discussed in relation to women in other blue-collar occupations.
