Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries: Afternoon Tea with Kate Mosse & Sara Sheridan

Tickets £8-£23.

Location: Morningside United Church

This is a live, in-person event.

We are thrilled to welcome award-winning author Kate Mosse to talk about and celebrate incredible women from history with fellow author Sara Sheridan. Served with a fresh helping of tea and scones from 181 Deli!

Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries brings together 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 feminist history of the world and a personal memoir about the nature of women’s struggles to be heard, about how history is made and by whom.
