Conferences : Women in maritime work, past and present

The Centre International de la Mer - Corderie Royale is offering three conferences: "Women's maritime work, past and present", in partnership with the Fête de la Mer et des Littoraux.
Each evening will be an opportunity to combine a female maritime activity in the past and the present.
The Centre International de la Mer - Corderie Royale is proposing to bring together the past and present through these conferences.
This is a way of putting women back into a history - their history - from which they have long been erased.
At 6.30 pm in the projection room of the Corderie Royale.
Free admission.
