Not all pirates are men, nor are all damsels in distress. Here is the true saga of Irish born Anne Bonny, “Golden Age” pirate of the 18th Century Caribbean.
Hollywood has tried numerous times to reproduce Anne, currently in Starz Black Sails, even the video game Assassins Creed, and yet her full story has yet to be told, until now.
Anne Bonny has captured the imagination of Cosplay fans around the world.
Feminists should especially appreciate this role-breaking woman who gained a rare measure of respect and equality that was seldom granted young women during her time, when life was short and cheap.
