Critics Review
“Drawing on her own life at sea and in journalism, Sara Donnelly weaves together the voices of courageous women from across the marine industry earning respect in spaces where it was never freely given, and discovering that no plan unfolds as expected. Honest, insightful and deeply human, Seagoing Women is a testament to resilience, connection and the indomitable spirit of women at sea.” —Erin Seeley, CEO, YWCA BC
“Part oral history, part love letter to life on the water, Seagoing Women shines a long-overdue spotlight on the women who have charted their own course in the maritime industry. Sara Donnelly’s vivid, documentary-like portraits create an inspiring and deeply moving tribute to the generations of women who have answered the call of the sea.” —Brittany Tiplady, founder of Loose Lips Media
“An entertaining and refreshing testament to powerful women building a new era for women at sea.” —Alan Haig-Brown, maritime journalist
