I was off googling, looking for anything with women and freighters. The only thing I found was the first one here.
I am going to enjoy looking at these two links. Thank you.
I am impressed. You must have enjoyed your work. I was told I couldn't drive 1/4 and 1/2 midgets when I was young because I was a girl. We not only drove, we added many other young women and ended up with as many trophies as the boys when allowed to race.

This is a story on Nancy Wagner,I sailed with
her at Exxon.
She is a little bitty thing,and the nicest person you would want to meet in real life.
She and one other girl going for the Captains license, and were under a lot of pressure to be the first one to get their
license, for their schools(officer training)
The winner got 100,000.00 Nancy won! http://www.cnnsf.com/newsvault/output/womanbar.html
I never found out who made the the first
Chief engineer.

aposter,Yes I enjoyed every bit of it. And it was dollar for dollar.
I got a kick out of the guys who fussed about being away from home,moaned, groaned,
miserable!
They were the first ones to call in early from home to catch a ship.

I am holding my breath waiting for the first post to declare that they must all be lesbians if the ship can function with an all female crew. There is this strange reverse prejudice that if a woman IS competent she must be a lesbian. I have never understood where it was coming from. We should make some fun names for the ships to reflect that

Gravid,LOL,I ask that question my self
(to myself),it was such a rarity,a ship crewed with all
Women!
The 1st engineer and pumpman assured me, the woman were on that ship for their familys,to make a living.
It sure did'nt bother the men on my ship,They were hanging
off the rail on the starboard aft.I thought a couple of them were going to try to swim out to that ship as it became a pin dot on the horizen.
I enjoyed every bit of it. And it was dollar for dollar.
