Anne "Dieu-Le-Veut" de Graaf[1] also called Marie-Anne or Marianne (28 August 1661 – 11 January 1710)[2] was a French pirate. Alongside Jacquotte Delahaye, she was one of very few female buccaneers.[3] While Delahaye was likely fictional,[4][1] Dieu-le-Veut was real; however, many of her exploits are inventions of later writers.[5]
