The Ladies of Infamy ~ Comfort Colors Tee

Two Women, One Trial, Zero Apologies

Most history classes spend a semester on men in powdered wigs and forty seconds on the two women who sailed with Calico Jack. For the teacher who fixes that, the book-club member who always picks the biography, and any woman underestimated in a room who enjoyed what came next.

• On the Record: Anne Bonny and Mary Read were tried at Spanish Town, Jamaica, on 28 November 1720, convicted of piracy, and reprieved after both pleaded pregnancy; Read died in prison in 1721 and Bonny's fate is undocumented.
• For Her: A gift for the mother, sister or friend whose nerve runs ahead of her manners.
• Classroom Approved: Starts the conversation a textbook never bothers to.
