Pirate Queens: Dauntless Women Who Dared to Rule the High Seas by Leigh Lewis is a middle grade nonfiction title that combines verse poetry, illustrations, and nonfiction to explore important and often unheralded women throughout history who were powerful pirates in their own right.
\nFrom Ching Shih, a Chinese pirate who presided over a fleet comprised of some 80,000 men (Blackbeard had 400!), to Anne Bonny who famously ran away from an arranged marriage to don trousers and brandish a pistol in the Bahamas, to Sayyida al Hurra, an Islamic queen who ruled the Western Mediterranean, this edgy illustrated book proves that since ancient times women have made their mark in all aspects of history\u2014even pirate lore.
\nReviewed by some of the world\u2019s leading pirate experts and historians, Pirate Queens showcases six gutsy women who dared to rule the high seas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
