Description

Ferguson's Gang - The Maidens behind the Masks by Anna Hutton-North is a fascinating account of a group of women who defied convention to fight for their cause. In the early 20th century, these masked maidens formed 'Ferguson's Gang' and pulled off daring heists, but unlike common robbers, they presented their loot in creative ways, pledging support to the National Trust. Their actions were not just about raising money, but also about preserving England's heritage from urbanisation. The personal stories of these women are striking, revealing a world of privilege and rebellion. They mixed with royalty, politicians, and literary elites, yet kept their identities hidden for over 90 years. This book brings to light the remarkable story of Ferguson's Gang, a group of rebels who lived in a bygone era of stately homes and servants. With its unique blend of history and intrigue, this book offers a glimpse into a world now largely forgotten.
