Pirate Queen by Helaine Becker
A lively nonfiction portrait of Grace O'Malley, a 16th-century Irish chieftain who commanded ships and men, defied English authority, and built a seafaring power through piracy, trade, and political savvy. The narrative follows her rise from clan heir to feared maritime leader, her raids and alliances along Ireland’s west coast, and her bold journey to petition Queen Elizabeth I—revealing a resourceful woman navigating violence, politics, and survival in a male-dominated world.
