![]() ![]() Maiden Voyages is a fascinating portrait of the era, the ships themselves, and these women as they crossed the Atlantic. They were celebrities, migrants and millionaires, refugees, aristocrats and crew members whose stories have mostly remained untold-until now. Some traveled for leisure, some for work others to reinvent themselves or find new opportunities. It was an extraordinary undertaking made by many women, whose lives were changed forever by their journeys between the Old World and the New. During the early twentieth century, transatlantic travel was the province of the great ocean liners. In an engaging and anecdotal social history, Siân Evans's Maiden Voyages explores how women's lives were transformed by the Golden Age of ocean liner travel between Europe and North America. ![]() About the Book "Originally published in Great Britain by Two Roads, an imprint of John Murray Press, an Hachette UK company"-Title page verso. ![]()
