Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries

Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary womenAnita 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 women’s 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 Kate’s 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 itProfessor 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 millenniaProfessor 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 joyGlamour
