Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Excellent . . . bursting with extraordinary women" --Anita Anand, broadcaster and author of The Patient Assassin
"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, interwoven 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, historian and author of Rival Queens "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, historian and author of The Life and Legend of the Sultan Saladin "A must-have for history lovers and feminists . . . It's personal, detailed and pure joy" --Glamour "Totally fabulous" --Laura Shepherd-Robinson, bestselling author of The Square of Sevens "Don't miss this one!" --Natalie Haynes, bestselling author of Pandora's Jar and Stone Blind "Brilliant" --Daisy Buchanan, author of Pity Party "This book is an inspiration. Make it a gift to your own Warrior Queens and Quiet Revolutionaries, and to the men who support them" --Kathryn Mannix, bestselling author of With the End in Mind
