March is Women’s History Month, and the Fishing Heritage Center, 38 Berthel St., New Bedford, has two FREE programs planned for you to learn about women in the fishing industry!
March AHA! Night: Women in the Wheelhouse, 3/10, 6:30 p.m. in person. Female captains, mates, and deckhands who work on commercial fishing boats will share firsthand experiences of life at sea. Seating is limited to 25. Masks are required. Registration is reccomended. Book your FREE ticket here: https://womeninthewheelhouse.bpt.me
Book Talk: Ali Farrell, “Pretty Rugged: True Stories from Women of the Sea,” 3/18, 7 p.m. Free. Remote: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84061493513. Author Ali Farrell, along with fishermen featured in the book, will regale you with tales about her book. Tune in on Zoom to ask questions and hear about the experiences of women in a historically male-dominated industry navigating changes in gender roles within their life and work.
This program is supported by a grant from the Bridge Street Fund, a special initiative of Mass Humanities.
