Feisty and Fiery and Fierce: Badass Celtic Women to Live Your Life by from Scotl
€19.50
Celtic women, both ‘ordinary’ and ‘extraordinary’ have often been overlooked in recorded history, while their male counterparts hogged the limelight. Too often written by the victors, and written by men, for men, the incredible stories of Scotland’s and Ireland’s women have been all-too-often banished to the footnotes of our nations’ interwoven histories. This collection brings together the stories of those women already well-known, whose place in history is significant and remembered – or often misremembered – and those women whose mark is found in the shadows, women whose stories are now uncovered and celebrated in a new light.

JACKIE CROOKSTON banged the drum for fair treatment for her fellow Scots and paid with her life.

BETTY CAMPBELL stood up to racism to teach the children – and win the hearts – of Wales.
