Ching Shih: From Sex Worker to Queen Pirate — Ladylike | Nebula Plus

This is the story of Ching Shih. The story of the woman who ruled over the seas, powered by greed and ambition, igniting fear among the masses and the powerful. The story of a woman whose piracy empire was attacked but who fought back, Ladylike. You're watching the third episode of my series — Ladylike ! They say women cannot be dangerous, that violence is unladylike. This series traces the lives of women who defied that assumption—Emma Goldman, the Pankhursts, Assata Shakur, and many other female figures history has often forgotten. These women used force, when necessary, to pursue emancipation in societies determined to keep them in their place.
