Gratë në pirateri

Anne Bonny dhe Mary Read, u dënuan për pirateri më 28 nëntor 1720

Edhe pse shumica e piratëve në histori kanë qenë burra, ka rreth njëqind shembuj të njohur të pirateve femra, rreth dyzet prej të cilave ishin aktive në Epokën e Artë të Piraterisë. Disa gra kanë qenë kapitenë pirate dhe disa kanë komanduar flota të tëra piratesh. Ndër gratë pirate më të fuqishme ishin figura të tilla si Zheng Yi Sao (1775–1844) dhe Huang Bamei (1906–1982), të cilat të dyja drejtuan dhjetëra mijëra piratë.

Përveç atyre të paktëve që ishin vetë pirate, gratë gjithashtu historikisht kanë qenë më shumë të përfshira në piraterinë përmes roleve dytësore, duke ndërvepruar me piratët duke qenë kontrabandistë, huadhënëse parash, blerës të mallrave të vjedhura, taverna dhe prostituta, dhe duke qenë anëtarë të familjes së piratëve dhe viktimave. Disa gra gjithashtu u martuan me piratë dhe i kthyen shtëpitë ose objektet e tyre në streha të sigurta piratike. Nëpërmjet grave në këto role dytësore, piratët u mbështetën fuqishëm nga agjencia e grave. Disa gra me ndikim, duke përfshirë monarkët si Elizabeta I e Anglisë (r. 1558-1603), kanë vepruar gjithashtu si mbrojtës të fuqishëm të piratëve. Megjithëse kanë marrë pak vëmendje akademike, gratë ende i zënë këto role të rëndësishme dytësore në piraterinë bashkëkohore. Pirateria në brigjet e Somalisë, për shembull, mbështetet në një masë të madhe nga gratë në breg që marrin pjesë në transport, strehim dhe rekrutim.

Lundrimi në përgjithësi ka qenë historikisht një aktivitet me gjini mashkullore. Gratë që bëheshin pirate herë pas here maskoheshin si burra për ta bërë këtë, pasi përndryshe ato rrallë lejoheshin në anijet pirate. Në shumë anije në Epokën e Artë të Piraterisë, gratë ishin të ndaluara nga kontrata e anijes (kërkohej të nënshkruhej nga të gjithë anëtarët e ekuipazhit) për shkak të konsiderimit si fat i keq dhe për shkak të frikës se anëtarët meshkuj të ekuipazhit do të ziheshin për gratë. Shumë pirate femra të famshme, si Anne Bonny (1697–?) dhe Mary Read (1685–1721), visheshin dhe vepronin si burra. Meqenëse gjinia e shumë grave pirate u ekspozua vetëm pasi u kapën, është e mundur që të ketë pasur më shumë gra në pirateri sesa tregohet ndryshe nga burimet e mbijetuara.

Përveç pirateve femra historike, femrat në pirateri janë shfaqur shpesh edhe në legjenda dhe folklor. Pirateja më e hershme femër legjendare është ndoshta Atalanta e mitologjisë greke, e cila sipas legjendës iu bashkua argonautëve në vitet para Luftës së Trojës. Folklori dhe mitologjia skandinave, ndonëse vetë përrallat janë të paverifikuara, përfshin shumë luftëtare femra (mburoja-vashë) që komandojnë anije dhe flota. Piratet femra kanë pasur role të ndryshme në letërsinë moderne, duke reflektuar shpesh normat dhe traditat kulturore. Duke filluar nga shekulli i 20-të, gratë e imagjinuara pirate ndonjëherë janë romantizuar si simbole të lirisë femërore.

Her historicity, or at least the historicity of her exploits, are disputed since she is mainly known from the report I Sailed with Pirates (1931) by Aleko Lilius, a journalist of dubious repute.
