This book provides a unique expose of women in family businesses in the Australian commercial fishing industry and explores their visibility, contributions, barriers and opportunities for participation, and knowledge. Recognising the need to move beyond an exploration of women's 'roles,' this book applies a detailed, well articulated and sophisticated feminist post structural approach which explores women's identity, power/knowledge and positioning in relation to the current industry climate, in the context of discourses of 'crisis' and 'sustainability.' This is particularly pertinent with climate change looming as the next industry 'crisis.' As such, this book has significant interdisciplinary appeal, and will benefit feminist, gender, natural resource management and fisheries scholars and policy makers. Ultimately, it is hoped that this book will have a substantial impact on industry women in both Australia and elsewhere, and reduce their marginalisation; increase awareness about their contributions; and result in greater opportunities to voice their unique knowledge on social issues with a view to enhancing industry sustainability.
