Lady Anne Mackintosh was the wife of the Highland chief of Clan Mackintosh during Scotland's last great war against England for Scotland's freedom. While her husband fought on the King of England's side, Lady Anne, age 23, made the unheard-of move of calling the clan to battle, herself, for the other side, for Bonnie Prince Charlie. The prince was Charles Stuart? "Bonny Prince Charlie"?and the rightful king of Scotland. In those days, any man who raised a regiment became its colonel. Of course Lady Anne did not ride into battle (although the English newspapers accused her of it) but ever since that time she was known to Scotland and to history as "Colonel Anne." With the help of five retainers, she routed the King's army when it threatened her beloved prince.

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. Many historians have ignored female participation in the '45: this book aims to redress the balance. Drawn from many original documents and letters, the stories that emerge of the women - and their men - are often touching, occasionally light-hearted and always engrossing.

Anne Farquharson is a Highland girl – tempestuous, bold, determined to be her own woman. Yet the clan Farquharson is threatened. The Highlands suffer at the domineering hand of English King George, while there are rumours that Bonnie Prince Charlie, exiled to France, is raising an army in a bid for the throne. When Anne marries a clan chief and creates a shaky alliance, she is doing more than taking his bed. Soon she is drawn into the heart of a brutal and bloody conflict, and as the Jacobite rebellion escalates, she and her husband find themselves on opposite sides of the battlefield. White Rose Rebel is inspired by the true story of a Highland heroine who risked everything for her country and its rightful king.
