What does it mean to be a woman?

To live as a woman is so often a political act. This powerful anthology maps the journeys of women: their joys and challenges, and the defining moments that shape them. From girlhood to ageing, from love to loss, from ambition to identity, these distinctive writers speak honestly to what it means to be seen in our own voices, on our own terms. Curated by acclaimed poet and critic Jennifer Wong, ‘Woman, Mapped’ reflects the breadth of lived experience across identities, cultures, and generations.

‘This is the anthology – or should I say the evidence – that we need to read and understand as we advance into the perilous mid twenty-first century. In this meticulously curated selection, you’ll find varied explorations of the complexities and contradictions of identifying as a woman today crafted with courage, verve and poetic imagination. A multi-faceted jewel of a book.’ – Jacqueline Saphra, Author of ‘All My Mad Mothers”
