Omschrijving
A journey through history of the women who built the world, but whom the world forgot.
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 . . . Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is epic, unputdownable, gripping. I loved it.
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
A must have for history lovers and feminists . . . It's personal, detailed and pure joy
Totally fabulous
Don't miss this one!
