Awesome Stuff Women Did

Because women have done more in the past 10,000 years than just pop out babies and make sandwiches.

DISCLAIMER: We make no claim that all women featured here are saints. They did awesome stuff; the women themselves might not have been. Keep that in mind before sending angry notes.

Left her poor, Irish family to marry a pirate. Left that guy to marry a pirate captain. Had a baby but gave it up to stay a pirate. Fought bravely as part of a crew with her friend (and lesbian lover?) Mary Read against the British Navy. Eventually they were defeated but both women avoided hanging by claiming to be pregnant.
