If you thought that it was men that ruled the seven seas you were sorely mistaken, it was women who were the true oceanic terrors. In this episode of The Lady Dicks Podcast, we’re dictecting the stories of three famous lady pirates who ruled the seas.
Sadie the Goat the ruthless New York City mugger-turned-pirate who would headbut her victims before relieving them of their valuables. Ching Shih the beautiful sex worker-turned-Pirate Queen who ruled the commanded the Red Flag Fleet in the 1800s. And, finally, Anne Dieu-le-Veut who challenged a man to a duel and ended up with a new husband.
