Throughout history, the women of the Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland and Wales have risen to challenge and proved themselves to be seriously badass.
JACKIE CROOKSTON banged the drum for fair treatment for her fellow Scots and paid with her life.
ANNE BONNY swashbuckled her way from Ireland to the Bahamas as a real-life pirate of the Caribbean.
BETTY CAMPBELL stood up to racism to teach the children – and win the hearts – of Wales.
Feisty, fiery and fierce in every way, the ‘her-stories’ of these Celtic sisters – from prophets to photographers, artists to activists – will inspire you to face your own modern-day dilemmas in true badass style.
Mairi Kidd graduated with a First in Celtic Studies from the University of Edinburgh and has worked in books ever since. Her novel The Specimens - a retelling of the 1828 crimes of Burke and Hare - was Waterstones Scottish
Book of the Month and the short stories from her collection We Are All Witches formed the basis for the award-winning 'Heal and Harrow' project.
