Set against the backdrop of the early Victorian era, the book delves into the Rebecca riots, where men from Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, and Cardiganshire protested against oppressive tolls. Led by the mysterious figure known as 'Rebecca', they donned colorful costumes and engaged in direct action against local authorities and the government. Rhian E. Jones examines the movement's origins, timeline, and impact, revealing the struggles of ordinary people facing significant social and economic upheaval in early nineteenth-century Wales.
