Women in Video
Try it. Type women and sailing, and see what google gives up. In 1992, when I started my doctoral research on women of the wind, there were only two women's names that popped up on the internet search for "women + sailing". Two books. Two entries. Period.
Those two were Naomi James and Clare Francis. Quite notable women, for sure, but far from the whole of women sailing worldwide. Today, a similar thing is happening, or not happening, on Google's You Tube. Type in "women sailing" and today, you'll only find a handful of bonafide women's sailing videos. The Portugal Women's Sailing Team is pretty cool. As is Dee Caffari's inspiring single-hander achievement, or the amazing Ellen MacArthur. Video is the cutting edge for communication these days, so let's all start uploading!
