Highwaymen! What About The Women?
Holbrook, Margaret2025
Book
There were highwaymen a-plenty in 17th and 18th century England, but there were also quite a few women within these ranks. Some worked the highways alone, others with their husbands or lovers. It was an exciting life and one that held a certain romance but the excitement and romance didn't always last. If caught and convicted there were chances you would be hanged. If you managed to escape the hangman's noose you might face transportation. These risks were known and seemed to be accepted as risks worth taking - but for some of the women in this book their final journey was to the gallows.
