从阿尔戈号航行到尾钩丑闻，航海业长期以来一直是最明显的男性主导职业之一。在这项开创性的跨学科研究中，玛格丽特·克雷顿 (Margaret Creighton)、丽莎·诺林 (Lisa Norling) 及其合著者探讨了英美航海时代性别与航海的关系。作者利用广泛的美国和英国资料——从日记、航海日志、账簿到歌曲、诗歌、小说和一系列公共资料——展示了大众对航海的迷恋以及水手们严格的、仅限男性的生活如何导致了基于船上“钢铁男人”和岸上“坚忍女人”的性别行为模式。然而《钢铁侠》、《木头女》也提供了挑战传统观点的新材料。作者调查了美国捕鲸业中的女性以及船长妻子在船上的角色等话题。他们探索了女海盗安妮·邦尼（Anne Bonny）和玛丽·里德（Mary Read）的职业生涯，以及其他女性——“易装女主角”——女扮男装为帆船船员服务的职业生涯。他们探讨了性别的重要性及其与美国和英国商船中的非裔美国人和其他海员种族的联系。贡献者包括社会历史学家和文学评论家：马库斯·雷迪克、黛安·杜高、露丝·沃利斯·赫恩登、哈斯克尔·施普林格、W·杰弗里·博尔斯特、劳拉·塔比利、莉莲·内德和梅洛迪·格劳利奇，此外还有玛格丽特·克赖顿和丽莎·诺林。
From the voyage of the Argonauts to the Tailhook scandal, seafaring has long been one of the most glaringly male-dominated occupations. In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary study, Margaret Creighton, Lisa Norling, and their co-authors explore the relationship of gender and seafaring in the Anglo-American age of sail. Drawing on a wide range of American and British sources-from diaries, logbooks, and account ledgers to songs, poetry, fiction, and a range of public sources-the authors show how popular fascination with seafaring and the sailors' rigorous, male-only life led to models of gender behavior based on "iron men" aboard ship and "stoic women" ashore. Yet Iron Men, Wooden Women also offers new material that defies conventional views. The authors investigate such topics as women in the American whaling industry and the role of the captain's wife aboard ship. They explore the careers of the female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, as well as those of other women-"transvestite heroines"-who dressed as men to serve on the crews of sailing ships. And they explore the importance of gender and its connection to race for African American and other seamen in both the American and the British merchant marine.
