Abstract The beach women of Grand Bank, Newfoundland were skilled labourers of the Bank Fishery, one that began in the late nineteenth century. Just as the men fished for cod off the Grand Banks, the women worked on the land; spreading and piling codfish on natural beaches to make a perfectly dried, saltfish product ready for market. During the fishing season from April until October, women as young as 11 helped their mothers and grandmothers make fish everyday but Sunday, if the weather stayed fine. Beach women were easily recognized by their white aprons and white sunbonnets as they walked through the town of Grand Bank, heading to the beaches as early as five or six in the morning. Their sunbonnets or sunshades feature prominently in the memories and recollections of residents and visitors to the town.

沙滩上的遮阳帽:纽芬兰格兰德银行的沙滩妇女职业民俗,1880–1940年

摘要纽芬兰格兰德银行的海滩妇女是银行渔业的熟练工人,该渔业始于19世纪末。就像男人们从大银行钓鱼要鳕鱼一样,女人们也在这片土地上工作。在天然海滩上撒播和堆放鳕鱼,以制成完全干燥的咸鱼产品,准备投放市场。在4月至10月的捕鱼季节中,年仅11岁的妇女每天都会帮助母亲和祖母做鱼,但是如果天气晴朗的话,星期日也要这样做。步行穿过大银行镇时,海滩妇女很容易被白色围裙和白色遮阳帽认出,早在五,六点便到达海滩。他们的遮阳帽或遮阳篷在该镇居民和游客的记忆和回忆中占有重要地位。
