Teddington RNLI View From the Thames: Water power women | Richmond and Twickenham Times

By Julia Kendal, Volunteer Crew, Teddington RNLI Teddington RNLI Crew - ltr Gianna Saccomani, Julia Kendal, Nic Peters, Sam Armatage, Nic Evered - Photo (taken pre Covid by Paul Roach Teddington RNLI) There was a time when women were not allowed to go to sea. They were considered ‘bad luck’ on a boat; a distraction for the male crew, incurring the wrath of the fickle waves. As International Women’s Day 2021 approaches on 8 March, this seafaring soul is celebrating the eroding of this barrier to entering the water. I’m also grateful for access to education. And the vote. Since the early days of the RNLI - back in a different century, when it had a different name (National Institution for the Preservation of Lives and Property from Shipwreck) - women have played crucial roles. They helped to launch the boats from the beaches. They raised funds. They supported their village while the crews went afloat.
