The Pirate Ching Shih
#DoodlewashFebruary2025 prompt: Pirate.
Did you know one of the most successful pirates, possibly the most successful, was a woman? Ching Shih took over the Red Flag fleet of South China when her husband died in 1807, and led around 50,000 - 70,000 pirates. She was so successful that after 10 years the Emperor saw no way to combat them and offered amnesty to them, and she retired a rich woman.
