520    In the first-ever Seven Seas history of the world’s female
       buccaneers, Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and
       Privateers Who Ruled the Seven Seas tells the story of 
       women, both real and legendary, who through the ages 
       sailed alongside—and sometimes in command of—their male 
       counterparts. These women came from all walks of life but 
       had one thing in common: a desire for freedom. History has
       largely ignored these female swashbucklers, until now. 
       Here are their stories, from ancient Norse princess 
       Alfhild and warrior Rusla to Sayyida al-Hurra of the 
       Barbary corsairs; from Grace O’Malley, who terrorized 
       shipping operations around the British Isles during the 
       reign of Queen Elizabeth I; to Cheng I Sao, who commanded 
       a fleet of four hundred ships off China in the early 
       nineteenth century.
