The one thing about getting old is that everyone who can tell you off has died. Damned Rebel Bitches follows sisters Ella and Irene, both in their eighties and still fiercely inhabiting their futures. From the Clydeside Blitz in 1941 to NYC in 2012, the women encounter allies, enemies, personal history and fools who think that little old ladies aren’t dangerous.

Damned Rebel Bitches is a quote attributed to the Duke of Cumberland, describing women who accompanied their men to the battlefield so that the men wouldn’t retreat. As a result, the army was wildly successful. Some folk never learn.
