episode 1522: Warrior queens & quiet revolutionaries: forgotten women from history
Author Kate Mosse shares inspirational stories of women from across global history – including the forgotten life of her great grandmother Lily Watson
During lockdown, author Kate Mosse set out on her own detective story, investigating her family tree to unearth the forgotten life of a fellow novelist – her great grandmother Lily Watson. Drawing on her social media campaign, #womeninhistory, Kate soon uncovered many more lives that she felt were worth sharing, and has brought these unheard and little-known stories from women’s history together in her book Warrior Queens and Quiet Revolutionaries. She speaks to Emily Briffett about some of the many characters she encountered.
