Mother Ross, who fought as a dragoon in Marlborough's ranks at Blenheim and many other engagements is a well known example, although there have been recorded instances of 'women-soldiers' throughout history. This book follows the fortunes of women who followed in the steps of those marching ladies, but who disguised themselves as sailors and took to the seaways. Some fought for the Royal Navy while others-whose names have become infamous-sailed under the 'black flag' as pirates. This special Leonaur edition chronicles the exciting careers of seven women who served, sailed and fought disguised as men. Here readers will discover Anne Bonny, a pirate who became as well known as Blackbeard, together with the less well known Mary Ann Talbot, Mary Read, Emma Cole and others.\u003cbr\u003e Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53247611568435,"sku":"9781782824664","price":31.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/zL3BuT2xr-9781782824664.webp?v=1776305352","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-jill-tars-seven-remarkable-accounts-of-female-sailors-who-served-and-fought-disguised-as-men-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
