This review essay appraises the first online exhibition in the world on gendered maritime labour. The 23-panel exhibition addresses the subject from a UK perspective and deals specifically with P&O’s women seafarers from the company’s earliest times to today. Initially the essay outlines the contents of each panel and its accompanying ‘treasure chests’, making wider points about P&O’s position compared to other UK shipping operators. Then it tackles four key questions. How typical of women’s progress in the maritime world is this representation of P&O women? How productively and fairly does this exhibition represent the subject: a marginalised group’s progression from the periphery to the mainstream? How does this exhibition about a particular marginalised group illuminate the company’s growing understanding of the need to embrace diversity? Fourth, what is not there that should there? The essay concludes that the exhibition is, remarkably, of global value.

WOW——浪潮中的女性。P&O 的先驱女海员：过去、现在和未来在线展览：www.poheritage.com/the-collection/exhibitions/wow-women-on-the-waves，2020 年 3 月 8 日，无限期继续

这篇评论文章评价了世界上第一个关于性别海事劳工的在线展览。这个由 23 个小组组成的展览从英国的角度探讨了这个主题，并专门涉及 P&O 从公司最早到今天的女性海员。最初，这篇文章概述了每个小组的内容及其随附的“宝箱”，与其他英国航运运营商相比，对 P&O 的地位提出了更广泛的观点。然后它解决了四个关键问题。P&O 女性的这种代表是女性在海事领域取得进步的典型代表吗？本次展览如何有效和公平地代表该主题：边缘化群体从边缘走向主流？这个关于特定边缘化群体的展览如何阐明公司对拥抱多样性的必要性日益增长的理解？第四，什么不应该在那里？这篇文章的结论是，该展览具有非凡的全球价值。
