Overview

'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
