**History, completed. 'Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary women' – Anita Anand, broadcaster and author of The Patient Assassin** Moving, illuminating and deeply personal, Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is for everyone 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 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 – as she, like so many of us, seeks to trace her own roots through history . . . 'A must-have for history lovers and feminists' – Glamour **‘A spectacular work of synthesis, scholarship and love’ – Professor Kate Williams, historian and author of Rival Queens 'A powerful panorama of the extraordinary achievements of a wonderful cast of women - both famous and hidden - down the millennia' – Professor Jonathan Phillips, historian and author of The Life & Legend of the Sultan Saladin**
