The Scottish Fishwife and Her Identity
Join Margaret Ritchie at The Scottish Fisheries Museum on 15th March for a talk to explore the image and identities of Scotland’s fishwives!
About The Scottish Fishwife and Her Identity
Based on her oral history research with retired Fisherrow fishwives, Margaret will discuss how important their clothes, both working and ‘dress’ outfits, were in creating occupational identity. She will also share stories of the working lives of these independent businesswomen. This event will feature snippets from Margaret’s interviews with Scottish fishwives and a chance to ask her any questions you might have.
Additionally, there will be an opportunity to see our exhibition ‘Yellow Butterflies : The colourful character, costume and culture of Scotland’s Fishwives’ before it closes on the 18th March.
A relaxed event for which anyone is welcome to join us. Refreshments will be available.
