When we think of other icons of the past, people who lived lives of violence and adventure, be them Medieval Knights in armour of masked and cloaked highway robbers, they are almost always men. Why the exception with pirates? Well, most of that is down to two incredible women, Anne Bonny and Mary Reed. Anne and Mary lived fascinating lives, breaking boundaries and overcoming expectations. Littered with incredible similarities, these two women’s fates aligned, joining them together across vast distances and joining them together as crew members, close friends, and, perhaps, even as lovers. In a story that still makes them famous to this day, Anne Bonny and Mary Reed overcame setback after setback, before ultimately meeting a tragic end. Today, we look into the lives of the two greatest female pirates to ever exist.
