Nice job, Andrew. It is a topic about maritime history that often flies under the radar. Your piece was a nice summary of these extraordinary women and their experiences at sea..
Thanks Andrew for sharing these amazing stories of seafaring women who experienced Oriental life long before most of us . Rather than call Chinese merchants Cheats I would just describe them as keen traders who tried to extract a living by always asking more and when one walks away the prices always come tumbling down as they cannot afford to loose a sale

Fascinating portraits—such tough women who joined their husbands during incredibly dangerous voyages. Well done!
