<p><b>'Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary women' - Anita Anand</b><br><b>'Brilliant' - Daisy Buchanan</b><br><br><i>&ldquo;My hope is that this book will inspire as I have been inspired. It&rsquo;s a love letter to the importance of history and about how, without knowing where we come from - truthfully and entirely - we cannot know who we are.&rdquo;</i><br><br><i>Warrior Queens &amp; Quiet Revolutionaries</i> is a celebration of unheard and under-heard women&rsquo;s history. Within these pages you&rsquo;ll meet nearly 1000 women whose names deserve to be better known: from the Mothers of Invention and the trailblazing women at the Bar; warrior queens and pirate commanders; the women who dedicated their lives to the natural world or to medicine; those women of courage who resisted and fought for what they believed; to the unsung heroes of stage, screen and stadium.<br><br>It is global, travelling the world and spanning all periods of time. It is also an intensely moving detective story of the author&rsquo;s own family history as Kate Mosse pieces together the forgotten life of her great-grandmother, Lily Watson, a famous and highly-successful novelist in her day who has all but disappeared from the record . . .<br><br><i>Warrior Queens &amp; Quiet Revolutionaries </i>is accessible, ambitious in its scope and fascinating in its detail. A beautifully illustrated dictionary of women, it is a love letter to family history and a personal memoir about the nature of women&rsquo;s struggles to be heard and their achievements acknowledged. Joyous, celebratory and engaging, it is a book for everyone who has ever wondered how history is made.</p>
