Awesome Historical Pirate Women They Didn’t Teach You About in School

Mary Read

Wikipedia

Mary Read escaped to a life on the sea at a young age, often disguising herself as a man in order to do so. She and Anne Bonny were best friends, travelling the seas and stealing ships together (alongside Jack Rackham). When the trio were captured along with their crew, Read and Bonny managed to escape the hangman’s noose because they were both pregnant at the time.
