For too long, half of pirate history has been ignored. The women who sailed alongside—and sometimes in command of—their male counterparts are often left out of the story…until now. Laura Sook Duncombe explores the lives and legends of these bloodthirsty pirate women and their place in both pirate and world history. There’s a lot more than you might think! Enjoy a lively talk. Eye patches optional.
