Warriors and Witches and Damn Rebel Bitches
£16.99
A treasury of words by Scottish women from the Middle Ages to the present. Ordered chronologically within themed sections, the women share their ambitions, frustrations and determination, joys, sorrows and fears. Many of the subjects are writers; others had little thought to honing words for an audience; and there is a small selection of larger-than-life literary characters who have shaped many of us as surely as if they had really existed - Chris Guthrie, Meg Menzies, Jean Brodie and even long-suffering matriarch Maw Broon.
