Abstract

Women’s work in fishing communities is little recognized or acknowledged, especially when it involves processing shellfish. This can be explained by many factors, one of them being the division of labour in these communities. Whereas women are shore-bound to ‘drudgery’ work, men engage in the more prestigious seafaring activities. For example, net repair and maintenance as well as the preparation and salting of fish are frequently relegated to a 'non-work’ status. Thus, women’s involvement in productive activities is considered of little consequence.
