This is Women’s history Month 2021: Celebrating women.
This series consists of 3 webinar talks. The theme for this year is Rebel Women – Female Pirates.
We will discuss the incredible achievements of Grace O’Malley as well as the women in combat. How were they able to enter the culture of war and piracy in a male dominated society, living with a disguise, and what happens when their stories are told through a male filter throughout history? We examine why their roles in history have been neglected.
