Back to All Events
When we think about pirates, we tend to imagine men. However, there were some women who sailed under the Jolly Roger. This talk by Charlotte Carrington Farmer will explore the myth and reality about the lives of women onboard pirate ships during the golden age of sail. We will examine primary sources that illuminate their lives and challenge the traditional male-dominated narrative.
