In the first-ever Seven Seas history of the world's female buccaneers, Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers Who Ruled the Seven Seas tells the story of women, both real and legendary, who through the ages sailed alongside—and sometimes in command of—their male counterparts. These women came from all walks of life but had one thing in common: a desire for freedom. History has largely ignored these female swashbucklers, until now. Here are their stories, from ancient Norse princess Alfhild and warrior Rusla to Sayyida al-Hurra of the Barbary corsairs; from Grace O'Malley, who terrorized shipping operations around the British Isles during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I; to Cheng I Sao, who commanded a fleet of four hundred ships off China in the early nineteenth century. Author Laura Sook Duncombe also looks beyond the stories to the storytellers and mythmakers. What biases and agendas motivated them? What did they leave out? Pirate Women explores why and how these stories are told and passed down, and how history changes depending on who is recording it. It's the most comprehensive overview of women pirates in one volume and chock-full of swashbuckling adventures that pull these unique women from the shadows into the spotlight that they deserve.
An inspiring story of Zheng Yi Sao, the real-life pirate queen who took control of her life — and the South China seas — in the early 19th century. The most powerful pirate in history was a woman who was born into poverty in Guangzhou, China, in the late 1700s. When pirates attacked her town and the captain took a liking to her, she saw a way out. Zheng Yi Sao agreed to marry him only if she got an equal share of his business. When her husband died six years later, she took command of the fleet. Over the next decade, the pirate queen built a fleet of over 1,800 ships and 70,000 men. On land and sea, Zheng Yi Sao’s power rivaled the emperor himself. Time and again, her ships triumphed over the emperor’s ships. When she was ready to retire, Zheng Yi Sao surrendered — on her own terms, of course. Even though there was a price on her head, she was able to negotiate her freedom, living in peace and prosperity for the rest of her days. Zheng Yi Sao’s powerful story is told in lyrical prose by award-winning author Helaine Becker. Liz Wong’s colorful, engaging illustrations illuminate this inspiring woman in history.

The first full biography of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, 18th-century partners in crime who terrorized the Caribbean: “Excellent . . . informative and interesting.” —Model Shipwrights Between August and October 1720, two female pirates named Anne Bonny and Mary Read terrorized the Caribbean in and around Jamaica. Despite their short career, they became two of the most notorious pirates during the height of the eighteenth-century Golden Age of Piracy. In a world dominated by men, they became infamous for their bravery, cruelty, and unwavering determination to escape the social constraints placed on women during that time. But despite their notoriety, mystery shrouds their lives before they became pirates. Their biographies were recorded in Captain Charles Johnson’s 1724 book, A General History of the Pyrates, depicting the two as illegitimate women raised by men who, against insurmountable odds, crossed paths in Nassau and became pirates together. But how much is fact versus fiction? This first full-length biography about Anne Bonny and Mary Read explores their intriguing backgrounds while examining the social context of women in their lifetime and their legacy in popular culture, which exists to the present day. Using A General History of the Pyrates, early modern legal documents relating to women, their recorded public trial in The Tryal of Jack Rackham and Other Pyrates, newspapers, and new research, this book unravels the mysteries and legends surrounding their lives.

Sun, surf, sass, sorcery and sexy, sexy pirates. Welcome to Caribbean... Captain's Log Date: Seven days since the mutiny Time: Super late Drinks: Not enough This time last week, I didn't believe in curses, but that was before I got mutinied on, marooned, and captured. Now I'm the captain of a cursed ship where if we let our guard down, some smug evil spirit invades our minds and tries to trap us in a horrific netherworld. And let's not forget that there's a bounty on me so huge, even I'm tempted to cash myself in. Why does someone want to pay that much money for me? I wish I knew. Right now there's three hot men in my cabin and I can't have sex with any of them: There's my ex, Captain Dauntless, ridiculously handsome with an ego to match the size of his...ship. There's the mysterious Sebastian, one of the hottest peddlers of pleasure in the caribbean, who wants to give me a good time but is definitely hiding something. And there's the Commodore Benedict St Stephens, my nemesis, my prisoner, who has a hard-on for killing me instead of a regular hard-on but I'm sure I could talk him 'round. What can I say, there's a lot of love-hate happening in this room, as well as a lot of hate-hate. I just want gold, drink and sex. Instead, I've got to deal with this curse and this bounty, before they get me killed. ****** Pirate Queen's Curse is the first in a series of slow-burn, high snark RH, featuring the kick-ass snark-filled Captain Magpie Flint, the crew of the Queen's Liberty, and four hot men, because why choose?There is a HEA at the end of the series.
