Question

Imagine living in an isolated place where bad weather was not uncommon and people’s lives depended on you doing your job. This was the life of a lighthouse keeper before lighthouses became automated. Lights that had mirrors and lenses had to be cleaned and polished regularly. The keepers had to be watchful at night to make sure that the lamps stayed lit and there was enough fuel to last the night. When ships wrecked in nearby areas, lighthouse keepers were expected to help with the rescue effort. Because the work was physically demanding and women rarely worked outside the home, the job of lighthouse keeper was most often given to men. However, the job often fell to the daughters or wives of lighthouse keepers when the men were called to war, became ill, or died. Women proved themselves to be equally capable of holding this difficult job that was as much a way of life as it was a career. One of the most famous female lighthouse keepers was Ida Lewis of Newport, Rhode Island. Her father was the keeper of Lime Rock Lighthouse, but after only a few months at the job he had a stroke. Because Hosea Lewis was no longer able to perform his duties as keeper, 15-year-old Ida and her mother took over in 1853. Captain Lewis lived about 20 years longer, but Ida and her mother performed all the required duties of a keeper.​
