Grace O’Malley and Molly Brown - Women’s History Month

Two for one day. Somehow I forgot to publish yesterday’s post.

First up, another pirate. Okay, so I have a thing for pirates... and nautical history. I read a lot about shipwrecks. It’s a thing.

Anyway, Grace O’Malley. Here’s some links:

Ancient Origins

Twelve Fascinating Facts from The Irish Post

UK National Archives

Second today, Margaret Brown. The Unsinkable Molly Brown, if we want to stick with that nautical theme.

Seriously, she was on the Titanic. Go check her out. She’s been one of my favorite historical figures basically since I heard Debbie Reynold’s sing “Belly Up to the Bar Boys” when I was very small.

Encyclopedia Titanica
