In an exciting and anecdotal social history, Maiden Voyages: Magnificent Ocean Liners and the Women Who Traveled and Worked Aboard Them explores how women’s lives were transformed by the Golden Age of ocean liner travel between Europe and North America.

It was an extraordinary undertaking made by many women whose lives were changed forever by their journeys between the Old World and the New. Some traveled for leisure, some for work, others to reinvent themselves or find new opportunities. They were celebrities, migrants and millionaires, refugees, aristocrats, and crew members whose stories have mostly remained untold―until now.
