This is what ACRA says about Anne Bonney. Some call her a feminist who chose piracy as way of rebelling against a male-dominated world; others portray her as a tomboy who never grew up. Whatever her motives, in deed and daring Anne Bonney, history's most infamous woman pirate, was a plunderer, cutthroat, sailor, ransomer, raider, and general menace to maritime commerce in the Caribbean. In short, most pirates probably would have considered her an asset to their trade. That is the reason we've named our contest after her. We're looking for the best books the industry has to offer, books that stand out, books that are an asset to our trade.
