Blog Post #9

My research topic had to do with female pirates. I talked about there many adventures and what they had to go through as a pirate. I mentioned plenty great female pirates and went into great depth in speaking on their lifestyle and culture. Female pirates weren't respected or wanted on ships. They were even though of at "bad luck". The majority of them if caught on the ship were punished. Punishment for them resulted in death of a female pirate.

Female pirates weren't much different than the male pirate. In some cases some such as Mary Read happened be better than a few of the male pirates. Female pirates were overlooked because they did not pertain the skills that the male pirates had. Unlike the male pirates female pirates had to learn certain skills on their own, such as navigation. Male pirates grew up learning and acquiring these skills their entire life.

Throughout my research project I will explain everything female pirates went through in detail. I will explain why they disguised themselves with scarfs and acted as men. As well as their love life cause of course they were in fact still females.
