    "description": "<p>'A spectacular work of synthesis, scholarship and love. Epic, unputdownable, gripping. I loved it.&rsquo;<br />Professor Kate Williams<br />&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;<br />Warrior Queens &amp; Quiet Revolutionaries 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 in to defend their families, their culture and their countries; to the unsung heroes of stage, screen and stadium. It travels the world &ndash; from the UK to the United States of America, Romania and Chile to Pakistan, Uganda to Germany, South Africa and India to New Zealand &ndash; and spans all periods of time. But 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 />Warrior Queens &amp; Quiet Revolutionaries is accessible, ambitious in its scope and fascinating in its detail. A beautifully illustrated book, it features a diverse and global cast of names and is both an alternative and eclectic women&rsquo;s history of the world, 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>",
