Por la autora best seller Kate Mosse.
Un libro que devuelve la voz a casi mil mujeres cuyos logros y coraje nos inspiran a todas y todos.
UNA CELEBRACIÓN A LAS MUJERES DE LA HISTORIA.
Inspirada en la abrumadora respuesta que tuvo la campaña mundial que inició Mosse en las redes sociales bajo el hashtag #WomanInHistory, que se lanzó en 2021, esta importante obra de no ficción recopila, de manera rica y detallada, más de 1.000 voces de mujeres no escuchadas y poco escuchadas. También nos ofrece la siguiente pregunta vital: cómo y por qué los logros de las mujeres se han omitido rutinariamente de los libros de historia y cuáles son las consecuencias de contar solo la mitad de nuestra historia humana? En estas páginas, conocerás a casi 1000 mujeres cuyos nombres merecen ser mejor conocidos; las mujeres que dedicaron su vida al mundo natural o a la medicina; aquellas mujeres valientes que resistieron y lucharon por lo que creÃan para defender a sus familias, su cultura y sus paÃses; a las heroÃnas anónimas del escenario y la pantalla. Viajando por todo el mundo y abarcando todos los perÃodos de la Historia, esta es también una historia detectivesca, intensamente conmovedora, sobre la propia historia familiar de la autora, ya que Kate Mosse reconstruye la vida olvidada de su bisabuela, Lily Watson, una novelista famosa y de gran éxito en su época y de la cuál a dÃa de hoy nadie conocÃa su existencia... Conocida por sus aclamadas novelas de aventuras históricas y por su trabajo defendiendo las voces de las mujeres como directora y fundadora del Premio de Mujeres de Ficción, este libro nos muestra la pasión de Mosse para asegurarse de que se reconozcan los logros de las mujeres del pasado y del presente. Un libro ambicioso en su alcance y fascinante en sus detalles que presenta un elenco diverso y global de nombres. Una historia alternativa y ecléctica de las mujeres del mundo. Una carta de amor a la historia familiar y una memoria personal sobre la naturaleza de las luchas de las mujeres para ser escuchadas y para ver sus logros reconocidos. Un libro para todos los que alguna vez se han preguntado cómo se hace la historia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Excellent...bursting with extraordinary women' - Anita Anand

'Brilliant' - Daisy Buchanan
My hope is that this book will inspire as I have been inspired. It's a love letter to the importance of history and about how, without knowing where we come from - truthfully and entirely - we cannot know who we are. Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is a celebration of unheard and under-heard women's history. Within these pages, you'll 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 of courage who resisted and fought for what they believed; to the unsung heroes of stage, screen and stadium. It is global, traveling 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 beautifully illustrated 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 a book for everyone who has ever wondered how history is made.
