Usnula draga

Na dragoj leži mjesečina
I san svih zvijezda na njoj sniva,
U grudi joj se bijele sliva,
A svuda drugdje pomrčina.
I moja radost i vedrina
U srebrn okvir je okiva;
Dok crna tuga mi noćiva
U srcu; mraku sviju tmina.
I tako draga u snu bludi,
Pa, čini mi se, vrh nebesa,
Dok rana zora nježno rudi,
Treperi odraz njena mesa.
Tek onda kad vjeđe digne,
Mir mi stigne. O, mir mi stigne.

Mary Read (1685–1721), also known as Mark Read, was an English pirate. She and Anne Bonny are two of the most famed female pirates of all time; they are two of only a few women known to have been convicted of piracy during the early 18th century, at the height of the Golden Age of Piracy.











Mary Read and Anne Bonney were infamous pirates that lived in the in the early 18th century. Anne Bonney was born in County Cork, Ireland, some time around the end of the 1600's to the well-to-do attorney William Cormac before leaving her old life and venturing into piracy. Mary Read was illegitimately born in England, in the late 17th century, to the widow of a sea captain. Read left her family and disguised herself as a boy, working as a powder monkey before becoming a sailor and capable swordsman. Accounts vary as to how Anne met Mary Read. According to some historians, Rackam’s ship conquered Mary’s somewhere in the West Indies, and Mary was among those taken prisoner. After the engagement, Anne, dressed in female attire, tried to seduce the handsome new recruit. Mary informed Anne she was actually a woman—and bared her breasts to prove it. Anne vowed to keep Mary’s secret and the women became friends, confidantes and, depending on the source, lovers.

[font=]Queen of the Cossacks: The woman who rode across Siberia twice [/font]


Madame Colonel Alexandra Kudasheva (1873–1921?) was a Russian sportswoman and female soldier, notable both for her endurance riding feats, and for commanding of one of the first fully integrated combat units during World War I.
Kudasheva was a daughter of a soldier in the Orenburg Cossack Host. One source say that she was born during the campaign against Khiva in 1873, orphaned at a young age, and grew up among soldiers; another mentions qualifications in both medicine and veterinary medicine, travels in India, and knowledge of several Asian languages, including fluent Kazakh. Sources do not record her maiden name, and it is even unclear whether her father's name was Gerasim or Georgiy.

In November 1914, a French news magazine published a cover story about Kudasheva leading the Cossacks into battle.

Russian newspaper articles reported that because of her previous travels in Central Asia, Kudasheva was fluent in the Kazakh language. Some stories suggest that the Long Rider was enlisted by Royalists and sent incognito into what is now Kazakhstan. Tales persist that she also travelled to Afghanistan and may have even reached Persia, in search of military information.

Whether she was spying for the Czar or not is still to be determined. Yet what does appear correct is that Kudasheva was arrested by the Cheka, the Soviet Union’s secret police force. One rumour states that the woman who rode across Siberia twice and led male and female Cossacks into battle was executed in Kazakhstan in 1921.

No one knows the truth. No one knows where Kudasheva’s body was laid to rest.

All we have is a memory of a woman who broke all the rules by riding into history.
