This week Liv and Ellie are talking all things, Pirates! Or well pirate women that is.
We talk about the real-life experiences of pirates and how Hollywood gets it wrong. While talking about the visibility of women in history and how there are possibly so many more women in history that we don't know about because of gender politics. Liv and Ellie de-glamorize the pirate life and call out the problematic history of pirates.
Later on, we are joined by feminist author Laura Sook Duncombe, she is the author of ‘Pirate’s life for She’ and ‘Pirate Women’. where Liv and Ellie ask her all about the different types of women who were pirates. You can head to www.laurasookduncombe.com to learn more about her.
