A History of Women in Piracy (Hardback)

A diverse history of the many women that were granted the title of pirate. I appreciate Gregory’s insight teaching the difference between pirates and buccaneers. Furthermore, learning the complexities of female pirates and why they were extraordinary for their time. There are snippets of historical context for each pirate we are introduced to. I appreciate the location and various aliases associated with the women.

I really, really loved reading this. As a woman who loves pirates, this was a perfect and entertaining read. Personally, my favourite was the chapter about "Jacquotte Delahaye, Real or Phantom?". It was a wonderful read.

A series of short stories and biographies about the most famous female pirates, this book is an amazing read. You can very easily see that this one has been well researched and written in snack-sized sections to allow for a brief eye view into the lives of these trailblazing women. As educational as it is entertaining, you will find yourself envisioning Geena Davis from Cutthroat Island with a higher level of respect and knowledge for that a female pirate was not a myth - but rather - real.

For anyone who loves pirate lore and all things of the Golden Age of Piracy, I highly recommend this one.
