The Pirate Queen: In Search of Grace O'Malley and Other Legendary Women of the Sea by Barbara Sjoholm

3.0

It took me a while to read this one which is probably one reason why it seemed more dragged out than it might have been. I was disappointed with this book, mostly because I was expecting a biography of Grace O'Malley, but wound up with about 10% Grace O'Malley, 40% other sea-faring women, and 50% author's personal story. The parts about other women weren't bad, but I wasn't really interested in an autobiography of the author, especially one that was very idealized and cliche.
