But, as with all things, there is always an outlier-someone who bucks the trend, defying the reliable profiles and leaving investigators and researchers scratching their heads. In the history of major art heists, that outlier is Rose Dugdale. Dugdale's life is singularly notorious. Born into extreme wealth, she abandoned her life as an Oxford-trained PhD and heiress to join the cause of Irish Republicanism. While on the surface she appears to be the British version of Patricia Hearst, she is anything but. Dugdale ran head-first towards the action, spearheading the first aerial terrorist attack in British history and pulling off the biggest art theft of her time. In 1974, she led a gang into the opulent Russborough House in Ireland and made off with millions in prized paintings, including works by Goya, Gainsborough, and Rubens, as well as Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid by the mysterious master Johannes Vermeer. Dugdale thus became-to this day-the only woman to pull off a major art heist. And as Anthony Amore explores in The Woman Who Stole Vermeer, it's likely that this was not her only such heist. The Woman Who Stole Vermeer is Rose Dugdale's story, from her idyllic upbringing in Devonshire and her presentation to Elizabeth II as a debutante to her university years and her eventual radical lifestyle. Her life of crime and activism is at turns unbelievable and awe-inspiring, and sure to engross readers. 600 10 $a Dugdale, Bridget Rose, $d 1941- 610 20 $a Russborough House (Blessington, Ireland) 650 0 $a Art thieves $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Criminals $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Art thefts $z Ireland. 650 6 $a Voleurs d'objets d'art $z Grande-Bretagne $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Vol d'objets d'art $z Irlande. 600 17 $a Dugdale, Bridget Rose, $d 1941- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00482367 610 27 $a Russborough House (Blessington, Ireland) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00784897 650 7 $a Criminals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883516 650 7 $a Art thefts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815827 650 7 $a Art thieves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815841 651 7 $a Ireland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205427 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 2 $a Biography 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26130662E17011EC82262A731FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
