This book spotlights nearly 1,000 women from across the globe — among whom are famous names and many long-overlooked trailblazers — offering a panoramic, inclusive re-telling of global history through their contributions.
It weaves in a deeply personal thread: the author’s own family history becomes part of the narrative, as she searches for a “forgotten literary superstar” among her ancestors — showing how personal memory intersects with collective history.
Moving, illuminating and deeply personal, Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries re-examines history by elevating the lives of nearly a thousand women whose stories have too often been ignored.
From environmental pioneers to revolutionary activists, from writers and doctors to rebels and visionaries — the book brings together women such as Rachel Carson, Ethel Smyth, Anne Bonny, Pauli Murray, Sophia Jex-Blake, Doria Shafik, Cornelia Sorabji and Shirley Chisholm, among many others, whose contributions shaped social, cultural and political history worldwide.
Interwoven with this global tapestry is the author’s own detective-style quest: Mosse’s family history becomes a lens through which the larger themes of memory, legacy, and forgotten lives are explored — making the work both a history book and a personal memoir.
“Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary women.” — Anita Anand, broadcaster and author of The Patient Assassin
“A spectacular work of synthesis, scholarship and love.” — Professor Kate Williams, historian and author of Rival Queens
“A must-have for history lovers and feminists… It’s personal, detailed and pure joy.” — Glamour
