Summary

The amazing true story of two female pirates, Ann Bonny and Mary Read, who served as active, swashbuckling buccaneers for two weeks in 1720 under Captain Jack Rackam and were captured , tried and found guilty in Jamaica, where they pleaded "full bellies"- were spared the noose, but confined to jail.
