August 28, 1661 - Anne Dieu-le-Veut
One of the rarest figures in the history of Atlantic piracy, she operated in an era and a world that offered women almost no recognized role in maritime violence — yet she carved one out regardless. Her inclusion here reflects the site's cataloging of those who lived outside sanctioned boundaries through force or threat of force, however small their numbers.
From Wikipedia
Anne "Dieu-Le-Veut" de Graaf also called Marie-Anne or Marianne (28 August 1661 – 11 January 1710) was a French pirate. Alongside Jacquotte Delahaye, she was one of very few female buccaneers. While Delahaye was likely fictional, Dieu-le-Veut was real; however, many of her exploits are inventions of later writers.
