Description

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. MORE TALES OF SHIPWRECK AND SURVIVAL FROM THE AUTHOR OF ISLAND OF THE LOST Praise for Island of the Lost. "A riveting study of the extremes of human nature and the effects of good (and bad) leadership." --FLORENCE WILLIAMS, New York Times "Depicted with consistent brio, stormy seas become epic events." --Publishers Weekly "The finest survival stories combine struggle and endurance with an intellectual puzzle. Cast onto a wild island, what would one do? ... This is one of the finest survival stories I've read." --BRUCE RAMSEY, Seattle Times "Druett's well-researched account earns its place in any good collection of survival iterature." --WOOK KIM, Entertainment Weekly
