Damn' Rebel Bitches

The Women of the '45

Summary

'A racily written, well-researched and heart-warming account' Scots Magazine

Too many historians have ignored the role of women in the '45.
This book aims to redress the balance.

Damn' Rebel Bitches takes a totally fresh approach to the history of the Jacobite Rising by telling fascinating stories of the many women caught up in the turbulent events of 1745-46.

Drawn from original documents and letters, Maggie Craig brings their stories to life in this often touching and always engrossing reframed history.

'A modern classic' The Herald

'Bold and argumentative...resounds with authority' Scotland on Sunday
