Pirates!
Anne Bonny fought in men's clothing, was an expert with pistol and cutlass and considered as dangerous as any male pirate.

This is about a female pirate in the 1690’s! (http://goodies.freeservers.com/femalepirates.html) *cheers* See, this is what happens when you tell me Pirates of the Carribean has a chick on board. The raving feminist in me goes searching for the real chicks of the high seas. And, whoa, I found a few. There weren’t as many women as there were men, but they were still there, kicking serious arse.

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again
