The category of species has remained largely understudied in mainstream gender scholarship. This edition of the Yearbook of Women’s History attempts to show how gender history can be enriched through the study of animals. It highlights that the inclusion of nonhuman animals in historical work has the potential to revolutionize the ways we think about gender history. This volume is expansive in more than one way. First, it is global and transhistorical in its outlook, bringing together perspectives from the Global North and the Global South, and moving from the Middle Ages to the contemporary world. Even more importantly for its purposes, a range of animals appear in the contributions: from the smallest insects to great apes, and from ‘cute’ kittens to riot dogs and lions. The articles collected here reflect the variety of the animal kingdom and of the creative approaches enabled by animal history.

The role of women in the maritime sector has long been overlooked. Diverting from the image of women passively waiting for men to return, this edition of the Yearbook of Women’s History argues that women shaped port-life as much as men. It highlights that women were important social and economic actors. Contributions in this Yearbook show women as stevedores, wharf owners, inn-keepers and union-leaders. They cover the period from the seventeenth century up until the present, and range from Finland to Curaçao, Wilhemshaven to Colonial America. Using visual, written, and oral sources, this Yearbook brings together authors from different countries and backgrounds to shed a new light on the women that were indispensable to port life.
