A unique maritime historical document in which three sailors' wives, aged between 86 and 94, candidly recount their remarkably emancipated lives in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. They raised children, managed the household and finances, bought houses, and made major decisions without consulting their seafaring husbands. They enjoyed, so to speak, unprecedented autonomy in a period when strict gender roles still prevailed.
