Its sad that the true information on the lives of these pirates has mostly been lost to time. Because at the end of the day they were real people but since they were not well documented it has been forgotten. Which unfortunately leaves them to be remembered by their story book character like summaries.

Excellent video with detailed information. In most shows for kids Read and Bonny are so much prominent such as they were the most important pirates of the Golden Age. Maybe today it's too nice to have female pirates to ignore them and instead of that people have to make full documentaries and therefore use all of the clickbait story of Read and Bonny. Cheers!

I'd say Anne Bonny certainly has had more interesting depictions over the years and historically Anne gets slightly more mentioned as a powder monkey. General History I'd say Read has the more interesting backstory but its all fiction so really doesn't mean much.

@@LadyTylerBioRodriguezHonestly though, I think that's more interesting in a way. That she lived a life of piracy and then just... stopped, and lived a normal life and died relatively peacefully. It's especially interesting considering she was such a volatile personalit, according to most manuscripts recounting her life.

@@ianbyrne465 In a way that's true. Living a non descript life so vague she doesn't appear in any marriage or property document for 13 years. That kinda hints at being in a professional that doesn't show up in documentation like prostitution. But that means living long enough to actually see General History of the Pyrates come about and even the era itself end. Outliving so many more famous names from Roberts to La Buse.

A woman in China became known as "the pirate queen' for the fleet of pirates she controlled. Also, impressive was Grania O'Mally, an Irish clan leader who spent time at sea as both a merchant and a pirate. The story goes that she also got pregnant. She was in her cabin giving birth, when the ship was attacked by Turkish pirates. She gave birth, then got up, still wearing the blood soaked dress that she had given birth in picked up a sword, and ran out screaming. The Turks were so shocked and horrified by this weird situation that they retreated, enabling her to return to her job as anew mother. This was somebody who could easily go between feminine and masculine activities and back, and excel at both. As to the situation in this video, it should be remembered that a lot of pirates, like really a lot, were gay, which would have made it easier for women to safely live among them.

@@Hellion73 Most recent is Our Flag Means Death but Anne Bonny is again the obvious bigger character. Read is at the last minute of Black Sails which barely counts. Its stuff like that. Kinda insane because in the 19th century Read was the bigger one. Its because Victorian society saw her as more moral due to being loyal to a lover instead of cheating on her husband like Anne. Victorians didn't like the cross dressing part but they still liked her more. But skip to the 1930s and technicolor pirate films feature more feminine pirates based on Anne due to the Hayes Code restricting what women could wear on camera for the most part. By the time this ends in the 1960s pirate films are kinda dead and its the Bonny types that remain popular to this day.
