Throughout history, most pirates are male. But is there a female pirate? absolute! Here are two people from different parts of the world.
Mary Reid was born in England around 1690. Most of her life is disguised as a man. As a teenager, looking for adventure, she dressed as a boy and found a job at sea. Later, as a young woman [still pretending to be a man], she worked on a ship and sailed to the Caribbean.
On one journey, the pirates attacked Mary's ship. She did not participate in the battle but joined them. But Mary must be careful, because many pirate ships have rules: no women allow. If a man discovers her true identity, they may shoot her. At first, Mary was alone, avoiding others. But one day, she found an amazing discovery: a pirate on board is actually a woman! Anne Bonnie is the captain's girlfriend, but she is also a pirate. Mary told Anne her secret that the two women became good friends and powerful fighters. They fought together until they were arrested in 1720.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the pirate Qingshi intimidated the Chinese coast. When her powerful pirate husband died, the control of his 500 ships was transferred to Qingshi. Although she is the boss, her fleet has increased to nearly 2,000. As a fearless warrior, Qing poetry led nearly 80,000 pirates - both men and women. They target ships and towns along the coast of China. Over the years, leaders throughout the region have failed to stop her. In the end, Ching Shih retired, a wealthy and respected woman.
