History, completed.
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 . . .
