Om denne bog

History, completed.

''A must-have for history lovers and feminists'' – Glamour


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 . . .

''Excellent . . . Bursting with extraordinary women'' – Anita Anand, broadcaster and author of The Patient Assassin
