Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om kvinnor i Roslagens ytterskärgård haft en högre ställning än kvinnor på fastlandet. Frågeställningarna har kretsat kring kön och kompetens.Materialet som använts är kvalitativa intervjuer, personliga anteckningar, minnen och dagboksutdrag där skärgårdsbornas egna berättelser har varit i centrum. Med hjälp av en metod kallad snöbollsmetoden har materialet samlats i samspel med informanterna där ?det ena gett det andra? likt en snöboll som växer ju längre den rullar. Metoden tillsammans med teoretiska utgångspunkter som intersektionalitet och genussystemet har legat till grund för den etnografiska skrivprocess som också varit en stor del av analysarbetet.Resultatet visar att kvinnor i skärgården har haft en högre ställning än kvinnor på land, troligen främst på grund av att den särskilda skärgårdskompetens, som barn på öar fått då de växt upp, varit oumbärlig för familjernas överlevnad såväl ekonomiskt som fysiskt.Nyckelord: kvinnor,.
