"18th century heiress turned pirate" may sound like the tagline of a cheesy romance novel, but remarkably, it's a fairly accurate description of the indomitable Anne Bonny.

A few episodes into our "Forgotten Women" mini-series -- where I sneakily boost your vocabulary by telling you about some people you probably didn't learn about in school -- we're shedding light on one of the most famous female pirates from the so-called "Golden Age" of piracy.

It's a story you won't want to miss! You can listen for free on your favorite podcast player, or tune in over at Vocabbett.
