    While piracy was generally considered a male profession, there were some notable female pirates throughout history who disguised themselves as men to join pirate crews. These women were able to hide their true gender from their shipmates for a significant period of time, despite the close quarters on board ships where gender would have been difficult to conceal. Women were otherwise prohibited from pirate vessels unless they were captives or slaves.

    Women werent allowed to be pirates

    Farman, 02

    (John, The Short and Bloody History of Pirates, 2002, TO)


    Don't go thinking there were only men out there on the high seas. Okay, being a pirate was generally thought of as
    a man's job, but there were several well-known female buccanesses throughout history. This is all the more amazing

    women weren't allowed anywhere near pirate ships


    (unless they were captives or slaves). All the famous women pirates had
    originally crept on board dressed as boys and, strange as it may seem, managed to
    hide their gender from their macho shipmates for quite a while. This was more difficult than you might
    because most of the time

    think.
