Leading men into battle on the high seas, Grace O'Malley quickly gains a formidable reputation as the Pirate Queen of Ireland with her prowess as a sailor and skill with a sword. But her newfound notoriety puts the lives of Grace and her entire family in danger and eventually leads to a confrontation with the most powerful woman in England: Queen Elizabeth I."--publishers website.

Book excerpt: Grace O'Malley is the story of one remarkable woman's quest for survival and fulfilment, by land and by sea. In 1979, Anne Chambers' original biography of Ireland's pirate queen, airbrushed from historical record over the centuries, put her on the map once again. The biography became a milestone in Irish publishing and the catalyst for the restoration of Grace O'Malley to political, social and maritime history, as well as establishing her as an inspirational female role model. In the 40th anniversary edition of this international bestselling biography, drawn from rare contemporary manuscript records, the author presents Ireland's great pirate queen not as a vague mythological figure but as one of the world's most extraordinary female leaders. Political pragmatist and tactician, rebel, intrepid mariner and pirate, wife, lover, mother, grandmother and matriarch, the 'most notorious woman in all the coasts of Ireland', Grace O'Malley challenged and triumphed over the social and political barriers she encountered in the course of her long, pioneering life. This updated edition brings one of the world's first recorded feminist trailblazers to a new generation awakened to the global focus on gender equality as well as positive ageing. Praise for Anne Chambers' Granuaile: 'Draws a vivid picture of the trailblazing pirate queen.' Irish Examiner 'You cannot be what you cannot see, and with women all too often airbrushed from history, the importance of this biography cannot be underestimated.' Orla O'Connor, Director, National Women's Council of Ireland 'A superbly researched work ... it salvages the 16th century Mistress of the Western Waves from the rather frivolous folklore which surrounds her.' The Irish Times 'A historical reality which is equally if not more compelling than the legend.' Sunday Tribune 'Grace O'Malley ... a woman who can truly claim to have been 400 years before her time ... and Anne Chambers' biography is as innovative as its subject.' Enda Kenny, former Taoiseach of Ireland

Book excerpt: The real-life swashbuckling adventure story of a 16th-century Irish woman who rose to power in piracy and politics. In a life stranger than any fiction, Grace O’Malley, daughter of a clan chief in the far west of Ireland, went from marriage at fifteen to piracy on the high seas. She soon had a fleet of galleys under her commander, but her three decades of plundering, kidnapping, murder and mayhem came to a close in 1586, when she was captured and sentenced to hang. Saved from the scaffold by none other than Queen Elizabeth herself—another powerful woman in a man’s world—Grace’s life took another extraordinary turn, when it was rumoured she had become intelligencer for the queen’s spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham. Was this the price of her freedom? Judith Cook explores this and other questions about the life and times of this remarkable woman in a fascinating, thrilling and impeccably researched book.

Book excerpt: A WOMAN FOR HER TIME... Sister Genevieve had no idea that the neighbourhood surrounding St Louise's would soon become a war zone. In fact, Catholic families would be routed out of their homes by Protestant bombs, street battles would rage between the IRA and British soldiers on patrol. West Belfast would go up in smoke, with her girls in the middle of it all. Many would lose their fathers to the army, to prison, or to the grave. But she would not lose them. Sister Genevieve confronted violence and loss in her homilies and prayers. She enabled her girls to put despair out of their minds. With strength and courage, she helped them rise above the Troubles. This is her story. ...AND FOR ALL TIME SISTER GENEVIEVE 'Movingly impressive... her remarkable story is well worth the telling.' Times Literary Supplement 'Rae shows real insight into the spiritual motivation that Genevieve drew from her religious life. He develops also an unusual understanding of the armed conflict that raged over West Belfast.' Tablet 'A biography of a little-known but remarkable woman... should be compulsory reading for everyone who has anything to do with education.' Mail on Sunday
