Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries

Bringing together 30 years of activism, Kate's rich and detailed knowledge of unheard and under-heard women's history, and of how and why women's achievements have routinely been omitted from the history books, this beautiful illustrated book is both an alternative history of the world and a personal memoir about the nature of women's writing, about how history is made and by whom. Split into twelve sections, each covering a different category of women from history, Mosse tells the story of female inventors and philanthropists, to conservationists, authors and campaigners. It is the most accessible narrative non-fiction, with a genuinely diverse, truly global perspective:The book and the Women in History campaign is about celebration. It's about making a contribution in this area where many women and organisations all over the world are already promoting and advocating for women of the past. It's about being inspired, about honouring all the women to whom the world owes so much, it's about putting women back at the centre of history.
