OM DETTA AVSNITT
Fishwives were a remarkable group of women who were involved with the British fishing trade and made a name or themselves for being particularly loud and outspoken, and became a byword for hardiness and industry. Dr Sam Willis spoke to the historian and journalist Rose George who is currently working on a big research project looking at fishing communities around the world and has become fascinated by the fishwives, in particular on their profound impact on British politics. It's a story of technology, economics, shipwreck, survival, frustration, wealth, poverty and, of course, fishing.
