WOMEN OF MORAY (PB)

This book offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Moray region, looking at women marginalised, forgotten and usually uncelebrated across the centuries. It captures the tales of over 70 women whose lives have made an impact on history both in Scotland and abroad, shedding light on their misfortunes, prejudice and abuse, and showing how these challenges were overcome. Discover Flaming Janet, James IV's mistress; Elsie Watson who rode solo across South Africa on a motorcycle in 1912; the Queen's nurse in Foula and the Fair Isle in the 1920s; the spymaster of Albanian agents during the Second World War; the Traveller born in the bow-tent and many more. Ideal for the historian, the genealogist and the general reader alike, it will deepen your understanding of history.
