Anne Bonny (1702-1782) was an Irish-American female pirate who operated in the Caribbean Sea in the early eighteenth century. She and her crewmate, Mary Read, were known as the only two female pirates in the Western world. She attracted the attention of authorities, authors, the press, and society of her time through her daring and unconventional lifestyle. During her short but productive piracy career, she made a name for herself as one of the most notorious pirates of her time. Although she never captained her own ship, she achieved considerable fame and a lasting legacy as a female pirate at a time when Western society frowned upon women who abandoned their assigned social roles.
