'A must-have for history lovers and feminists' - Glamour

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...
