Zeemansvrouwen, een soort vrijheid
A unique maritime historical document in which three sailors' wives, aged between 86 and 94, candidly recount their remarkably emancipated lives in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.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 unprecedented autonomy in a period when there was still a strict division of roles between men and women.
Their stories, peppered with humour and perspective, are supplemented with unique archive material, 8mm films and excerpts from letters from a sailor's wife to her husband. The documentary Zeemansvrouwen, een soort vrijheid (Sailors' Wives, a Kind of Freedom) paints a picture of an unknown and almost forgotten world.
