Kate Mosse

Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries: How Women (Also) Built the World

€14,95

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 1000 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, Mosse 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.
