'A must-have for history lovers and feminists'

Moving, illuminating and deeply personal, Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is for anyone 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 . . .
