"Bold in Her Breeches: Women Pirates Across the Ages, edited by Jo Stanley (Pandora, London, 1995)
Hopefully your uni will have it - it's in the 360s at Melb Uni. It's written by someone who openly calls herself a socialist feminist and although it occasionally gets a bit silly with that (ie. don't apply modern class systems to ancient greece kthx *g*) it's actually a really interesting read. I haven't finished it yet, because I borrowed it for one specific person and I've just done the sections relating to her, but it sets out to look at the reality of things behind the oversexualised idea of the 'bad woman' and such stereotypes. But yes, if you can manage to find a copy to borrow, I think you'd find it an interesting read :)"
