PRIDE : Pirate Queens: Defying Gender and Making History
SHOW NOTES
Today we set sail with an old friend of the pod who originally joined us back in 2019 to teach us all about the queer history of pirates, Dr. Rebecca Simon. This time, Rebecca dives into the lives of two legendary female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, featured in her new book Pirate Queens. We discuss their journey into piracy, their relationship, and how they subverted traditional gender roles in battle. Plus, Rebecca shares her thoughts on pirate depictions in media today. Come aboard and discover the hidden history of these iconic women pirates!
