History, completed.

'Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary women' – Anita Anand, broadcaster and author of The Patient Assassin

Moving, illuminating and deeply personal, Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is for everyone who has ever questioned how history is made.

In this alternative and inspiring history, Kate Mosse shines a light on nearly 1,000 women from across the globe whose names and achievements deserve to be celebrated, not forgotten:

- Rachel Carson, mother of the modern environmental movement
- Ethel Smyth, unheralded British composer and virtuoso
- Anne Bonny, legendary eighteenth-century pirate and rogue
- Pauli Murray, ground-breaking US civil rights activist and lawyer
- Sophia Jex-Blake, pioneering nineteenth-century doctor
- Doria Shafik, Egyptian poet and women’s liberation leader
- Cornelia Sorabji, trailblazing Indian women’s rights campaigner
- Shirley Chisholm, the first female US presidential candidate

And as she researches the lives of these ground-breaking women, Kate embarks on a detective story to uncover a forgotten literary superstar in her own family, reflecting the desire of so many people to trace their own roots . . .

Recenzijas

Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary women -- Anita Anand, broadcaster and author of The Patient Assassin One brilliant woman writing about so many other brilliant women, this is a wonderful treasure chest of womens lives, full of wit, verve and emotion. Inside these superb pages is a epic, fascinating world of warriors, writers, scientists, queens and more, women who have shaped the world and many who have been overlooked and forgotten. So many lives in so many times and places, interwoven with Kates own research into her grandmother, a woman I wish I could have met. A spectacular work of synthesis, scholarship and love, Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is epic, unputdownable, gripping. I loved it -- Professor Kate Williams, historian and author of Rival Queens Exciting, hugely informative and, at times, shocking, Kate Mosse has cleverly woven close family detective work into a powerful panorama of the extraordinary achievements of a wonderful cast of women - both famous and hidden - down the millennia -- Professor Jonathan Phillips, historian and author of The Life and Legend of the Sultan Saladin A must-have for history lovers and feminists . . . It's personal, detailed and pure joy * Glamour * Totally fabulous -- Laura Shepherd-Robinson, bestselling author of The Square of Sevens Don't miss this one! -- Natalie Haynes, bestselling author of Pandora's Jar and Stone Blind Brilliant -- Daisy Buchanan, author of Pity Party This book is an inspiration. Make it a gift to your own Warrior Queens and Quiet Revolutionaries, and to the men who support them -- Kathryn Mannix, bestselling author of With the End in Mind
