Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is a celebration of unheard and under-heard women's history. You will 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, to the unsung heroes of stage, screen and stadium. It is global, travelling the world and spanning all periods of time. It is also an intensely moving detective story of the author'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. Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is accessible, ambitious in its scope and fascinating in its detail. A beautiful dictionary of women, it is a love letter to family history and a personal memoir about the nature of women's struggles to be heard and their achievements acknowledged. Joyous, celebratory and engaging, it is an audiobook for everyone who has ever wondered how history is made.… (mere)

As the author points out "since 190,000 BCE" there have been an estimated "117 Billion people born..." therefore, "that's a lot of women jostling to be heard...". As any brief check of the Historical account reveals it is a hugely predominantly 'male' official record. Ranging across the globe long (i.e. 2 to 5 paragraphs), medium & very brief accounts of Women throughout history from every race, creed, age & social background who have to a remarkable & tragically unfair measure been ignored/overlooked and/or deliberately erased by the mass of writers, i.e. Males. Ms Mosse's superb tome - containing very impressive, comprehensive research - goes quite some way to correcting the vast 'Female' gap in the official record. ( )
