Flora MacDonald!

Flora MacDonald was born in 1722 in South Uist, Scotland, to a well-placed family in the MacDonald clan. She aided Charles Edward Stuart , known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, to escape to France after the defeat of the Jacobites at Culloden Moor in 1746. In 1750 she married Allen Macdonald of Kingsburgh, and in 1773 they emigrated to America. In the War of Independence he served the British government and was taken prisoner. In 1779 his wife returned home in a merchant ship which was attacked by a privateer. She refused to leave the deck during the action, and was wounded in the arm. On the 4th of March, 1790 she died in the same bed in which Bonnie Prince Charles had slept. I like Flora because she shows women and be the hero and save the day too!
