Produktinformasjon

Oppdag Historien om "Woman, Captain, Rebel" av Margaret Willson

"Woman, Captain, Rebel" tar leseren med på en fantastisk reise gjennom historien, fokusert på en av Islands mest bemerkelsesverdige kvinnelige sjøkapteiner, Captain Thuridur. Dette er en gripende og nøye forsket historisk beretning som lyser opp kampen for kvinners rettigheter og likestilling på 1800-tallet.

En Usammensatt Heltehistorie

Født i 1777 i Island, definerte Captain Thuridur hva det betydde å være en kvinne i en tradisjonelt mannsdominert verden. Hvem skulle trodd at en liten jente som begynte å fiske i åpne robåter allerede som 11-åring, ville bli en av de mest anerkjente fiskekapteinene i sin tid? Med brask og bram kledde hun seg i bukser, brøt konvensjoner og skapte sitt eget rykte.

  • Uovertruffen dyktighet: Thuridur ble kjent for sin fenomenale evne til å lese været og manøvrere skuter.
  • En kaptein med medfølelse: Ikke bare brakte hun hjem de største fangstene, men hun sørget også for at ingen av hennes besetning mistet livet på de farlige arktiske havene.
  • Kvinnekamp: Gjennom rettssystemet kjempet hun for de undertrykte, og hun er kjent for å ha løst en av landets mest notoriske forbrytelser.

Inspirerende Stykkene av Thuridurs Liv

Margaret Willson vever en fortelling full av eventyr, motgang, glede, svik og sorg. Dette er ikke bare en biografi, men en universell beretning som gjenklinger i dag. Captain Thuridurs styrke og integritet gir et viktig budskap om likestilling og motstandskraft som fortsatt er relevant.

Med "Woman, Captain, Rebel" vil du ikke bare lære om en bemerkelsesverdig kvinne; du vil også oppdage en historie som utfordrer det tradisjonelle synet på kvinnelige kapteiner, og vise at styrke kan komme fra de mest uventede steder.
