62. Gráinne O Malley - Ireland's Pirate Queen

An amazing woman from Irish history who once divorced her husband
by shouting at him through a window, shocked the entirety of
Queen Elizabeth I's court besieged more than one castle to avenge
a loved one!


Gráinne O Malley, went by many names, Gráinne Uí Maille, Gráinne
Mhaol and Gráinuaile... Not once in her lifetime did she ever go
by the name "Grace" - in fact those names have nothing in common.
If you call her Grace, you are wrong. That is not and has never
been her name. The Irish pirate queen had her name and her
personhood stripped away by an olde English dude who thought her
Irish name should sound more palatable.


orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard
of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging
accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of
feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.
