DAMN' REBEL BITCHES
The Women of the '45

A meticulously researched book – drawn from many original documents and letters - but a million miles away from being a dry academic tome. In a lively and irreverent style it tells the often passionate and dramatic stories of the many women who supported Bonnie Prince Charlie. There are lighter moments too: how what you wore could make a political as well as a fashion statement. Why tea, referred to by one prominent Scotsman of the time as a "vile drug," played a crucial role in the liberation of the female of the species.

'a racily-written, well-researched and heart-warming account which also gives a detailed portrait of the social conditions of the times.' Scots Magazine

'glitters with eyecatching gems that shed light on everyday 18th century Scottish life, while the characters step out of the drama to shake your hand with a robustness that is almost frightening.' Press and Journal

'a worthy tribute to all these unsung heroines.' The Herald

'bold and argumentative.' Scotland on Sunday
