Anne Bonny and Mary Read were trailblazers in an incredibly male-dominated society who forged their own way. They were lovers and both fluid – moving between living as men and living as women in the Golden Age of Piracy (1700-1725). From this age, we know quite well the patterns of Blackbeard, Benjamin Hornigold, Calico Jack, and Black Bart to name but a few... but we are not often told the stories of two of the most famous pirates from the age. Anne Bonny and Mary Read did not have important titles, nor were they aboard any of the first-rate pirate ships of the age, but these two bold women more than deserve their place in the hall of pirate fame! They lived determinedly and followed their hearts – both in being pirates and seeking their own destiny but also following their desire to seek family and love each other.
