Mary Read dressed mainly as a man (after posing as her deceased brother, Mark, for the entirety of her childhood) and both ladies cross-dressed from time to time, hopping between ships. They were known as the \u2018fierce hell cats\u2019 due to their ferocious tempers, and were key elements to Captain \u2018Calico Jack\u2019 Rackham\u2019s crew &#8211; they were the only two known female pirates in the Golden Age of Caribbean piracy. IN FACT, when the ship was captured by the British Navy, Anne and Mary were the ONLY TWO pirates who fought while the males of the crew hid &#8211; they were all tried to be hung as pirates but Bonny and Read were both pregnant and were pardoned.<\/p>\n<p>Calico Jack was a lover to Bonny, and as he was to be hung, Bonny\u2019s final words to him were, \u201cHad you fought like a man, you need not be hung like a dog.\u201d Bonny and Read were possibly two of the most badass fucking pirates and they were FEMALE. The more you know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And on top of all that, exposed breasts have a long and storied history of symbolism in art. They mean all sorts of things. The sculptor may have chosen to expose her left breast specifically to denote her courage\u2013her heart is exposed\u2013or to evoke comparison to Amazon warriors, who cut off their right breasts.<\/p>\n<p>Titties are complex in art.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I love everything about this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>liquorinthefront: jennytrout: ccoastal: hanars: luckykrys: thecreach: luckykrys: \u201cAnne Bonny and Mary Read were pirates, as renowned for their ruthlessness as for their gender, and during their short careers challenged the sailors\u2019 adage that a woman\u2019s presence on shipboard invites bad luck.\u201d Sculpture by Erik Christianson.
