For centuries past, and all across the world, there are words that have defined and decried us. Words that raise our hackles, fire up our blood; words that tell a story.

In this blazing cauldron of a book, sixteen bestselling, award-winning writers have reclaimed these words, creating an entertaining and irresistible collection of feminist tales.

Including Kamila Shamsie's 'Churail', shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award!
