"Ten Days a ’Grass Widow’ - Forty-eight Hours a Wife":
Sexual Division of Labour in Trawlermen’s Households

A strict dichotomy of gender and work roles has long
characterized the offshore trawler fishery. Men’s constantly
varying work period, about ten days sea time to
every forty-eight hours ashore, forces wives to become
reluctant matriarchs, a role they must drop when their
husbands land. Incongruity of expectations and behaviour
is thus built in. Successful adjustment to sea-time roles by
both is often dysfunctional to family stability, and to the
health and recreation of the labour force. Women’s double-role
strategies are described using ethnographic and interview
data. These strategies vary with the historically
changing structures of the industry, kinship and community;
with their stage in the life cycle; with the expectations
of husband and wife; and with the constraints imposed by
vessel schedules and company policies.
