I saw comments like this too, and while I'm delighted with the story as-is for Season One, and pretty joyful about Jim's non-binary characterization, I do think the lack of female pirates (since they were real and documented and stuff) is a gap. I feel like everybody should get to be at this party.
Black Sails makes liberal use of real-life female pirates, so I feel like OFMD could too -- unless they didn't want too much overlap with BS characters? I'm not clear how much *direct* influence OFMD takes from BS.
