Continuing our series about Anne Bonny and Mary Read, this installment sorts out conflicting reports of Rackham's crew and discusses the existing popular literature about women cross-dressing in combat or at sea that would have been available as a model for the fictionalization of Bonny and Read's lives.
Yesterday I recorded an extensive interview about the "afterlife" of Bonny and Read that will be included in the upcoming pocast that accompanies this series.
