I can confidently say that Dr. Simon, despite limited available resources, has succeeded in Pirate Queens! While I am a fan of the love triangle theory between Read, Bonny and Rackham, I do acknowledge that it isn't supported historically. Simon sticks to the facts, and reconstructs their lives without the wild speculation seen in TV dramas. There's also plenty here that isn't usually included by other Golden Age historians. It's accessible, honest and entertaining! It also gives you a peek into the lives of other famous pirates, like Benjamin Hornigold and Charles Vane. It's an important read for women's history, not just pirate history. I literally finished it in one evening! I actually recommend this one for all the folks who don't usually read nonfiction. Honestly, if Dr. Simon wrote a series of pirate biographies like this one, I would buy them all!… (altro)
