Mary Read and Anne Bonny were caught up in piracy due to their involvement with the infamous pirate Captain Calico Jack Rackham. They were eventually captured by the British authorities in 1720 along with Rackham and the rest of the crew. Despite being sentenced to hang, both women avoided execution by claiming they were pregnant. Mary died in prison, while Anne's fate after that remains unclear.
