Idle Women of the Inland Waterways

Heather Wastie has a strong connection to the history of canals. During the summer of 2016, she embarked on a tour of a theatrical performance, poetry, and song. The double bill show, titled ‘Idle Women of the Wartime Waterways’, was produced in collaboration with Alarum Theatre. “Idle Women of the Inland Waterways” includes a transcript of Kate Saffin’s play alongside Wastie’s poems and songs.

This book narrates the story of young women who left their jobs and middle-class backgrounds to learn how to handle 72ft narrow boats and their cargoes.
