Female pirates throughout history…

In short chapters, Gérard A. Jaeger offers insight into these overlooked women in history, powerful pirates in their own right. Some were motivated by vengeance, others ambition or out of self-interest. They were intelligent and fearless, masters of their own fate.

These exceptional women take us on adventures from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, from the English Channel to the South China Sea. We see them at battle, pillaging and doing things for love.

Leading their maritime expeditions, they dominated all who crossed their paths, friend or enemy. They were both cunning and powerful, traits that demanded respect while also provoking anger and jealousy. This led to an unusual cocktail of attraction and repulsion making these women even more formidable.

Gérard A. Jaeger is an historian, a novelist and a journalist. He lives in Switzerland and crosses the world to write articles about travel and geopolitics.
