One brilliant woman writing about so many other brilliant women,
this is a wonderful treasure chest of women's lives, full of wit,
verve and emotion. Inside these superb pages is a epic, fascinating
world of warriors, writers, scientists, queens and more, women who
have shaped the world and many who have been overlooked and
forgotten. So many lives in so many times and places, woven with
Kate's own research into her grandmother, a woman I wish I could
have met. A spectacular work of synthesis, scholarship and love,
Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is epic,
unputdownable, gripping. I loved it. -- Professor Kate Williams
Exciting, hugely informative and, at times, shocking, Kate Mosse
has cleverly woven close family detective work into a powerful
panorama of the extraordinary achievements of a wonderful cast of
women - both famous and hidden - down the millennia -- Professor
Jonathan Phillips
