Descrição: In seafaring communities in the Dutch Republic women were in majority throughout the year, as the male population worked at sea. Due to the low and irregular incomes of their husbands, most wives of sailors and fishermen had to work, in order to survive. Many women worked in the trade and industry connected to shipping. Their possibilities were limited by local laws and guild-regulations and their husband's work, social rank and income all were important for their chances on the labour market. Women often combined several jobs. In the cause of the seventeenth century the position of women on the local labour market worsened due to changes within the shipping and fishing industries. At the same time wives of sailors and fishermen kept on contributing to the family-income by combining different kinds of labour.
