Unusual women of the past

You may think that no women went to sea or joined the army until the
twentieth century, but this is not true. Although they usually had to pretend to
be men, there are a few true stories of woman who fought for both good
reasons and bad ones.
 
One English woman soldier in the seventeenth century was Christian Walsh,
the wife of a man who was made to join the army, although he did not want
to be a soldier. Christian refused to accept the situation, unlike most women in
those days. She cut off her hair, dressed as a man and joined the army, calling
herself Kit Cavanagh, in order to look for her husband. It was thirteen years
before she found him and during that time she fought in several different
countries. She was only discovered to be a woman when doctors were
operating on her for an injury she had received while fighting.
 
A rather different example, from around the same time, is Anne Bonney. It is
not certain why she left Ireland, where she was born, and went to the islands
which are now called the Bahamas. However, we know that when she got
there, she fell in love with a sailor called John Rackham. She worked with John
to steal a ship from the local port. They obviously chose the ship carefully,
because it was the fastest one in the port at the time. For the next ten years
they sailed round the Caribbean, attacking other ships and stealing everything
valuable from them, as well as taking sailors to help on their own ship.
 
One day, Anne was surprised to discover that a boy they had taken off
another ship in this way was really a young woman. She told Anne her name
was Mary Read. She said she had dressed like a man to increase her
opportunities, because in those days of course most women were expected to
stay at home. Earlier, Mary had fought in the army, but had stopped
pretending to be a man for a short time when she married a soldier who had
realized that she was a woman. Unfortunately her husband died, and so Mary
started to dress as a man once again and became a sailor.
 
Anne and Mary continued their criminal career with John Rackham, but in the
end their ship was caught by the navy. The two women went on fighting even
after all the men were taking prisoner, but they avoided punishment and
disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to them after that. Perhaps they
pretended to be men and joined another ship, or maybe they got married.

    Suzanne was very nervous about her interview. She had prepared for it for at least
three weeks before. She  really wanted the job but she knew that a lot of other people
wanted to get it, too. She had been told when she phoned the number in the
advertisement that there were so many applicants for it, so she prepared herself. She
made notes of what might be asked and of what she wanted to ask.
   When the day came she arrived half an hour early. There were six other people waiting
to be interviewed. They all looked much more confident than she did. She began to feel
even more nervous. One by one was called. Each of them came out and looked satisfied.
Suzanne was the last one to be called into the interview room. She had decided by that
time that she had no chance of getting the job, so she felt relaxed as she walked in; she
felt that she had nothing to lose.
   The three interviewers were all serious and they didn’t seem to be interested in her. She
