The Pirate Queen: The story of Grace O'Malley, Irish pirate by Alan Gold is a supremely fascinating book. I picked it up after hearing the name, Grace O'Malley, on an episode of NCIS.
I'm not generally a pirate fan, but I thought that perhaps with a female pirate, it would provide the strong female characters that I prefer.
