Book Synopsis Women and English Piracy, 1540-1720: Partners and Victims of Crime by : John C. Appleby
Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide body of evidence, the book argues that the support of women was vital to the persistence of piracy around the British Isles at least until the early seventeenth century. The emergence of long-distance and globalized predation had far reaching consequences for female agency.
