Scotland’s Hidden Harlots and Heroines: Women’s Role in Scottish Society From 1690-1969

Annie Harrower-Gray opens up an alternative view of Scotland’s turbulent history, revealing three centuries through the eyes of the nation’s women. The whole of society appears, from ordinary labourers, prostitutes and factory hands to their more celebrated sisters and even witches, body snatchers, and female jacobites. All their tales are freshly researched and told with a sense of humour. An exciting and erudite voyage through the social history of Scotland. 16 pages of plates
