Sažetak
Croatia’s island of Murter is one of the rare insular communities where the presence of female workforce on board transport and fishing boats has been considered natural and a maritime and economic conditio sine qua non. Except for the tasks requiring considerable physical strength, the teenage girls and adult women of Murter have participated in all tasks at sea: rowing, handling sails, steering, position fixing, crew management, weather forecasting, small-scale fishing and maintenance of fishing gear. This phenomenon of defying the stereotypes and discrimination against maritime women resumes today. The paper discusses the cultural, economic and maritime circumstances that enabled/forced hundreds of the Murter women to serve on board – as family crewmembers, wage earners or enthusiasts – and allowed them to make a breakthrough from the gender framework, otherwise carefully designed and maintained by the tradition.
