With almost 100 evocative images, this collection showcases an array of contemporary art that highlights the staggering breadth of talent among today''s female artists. It offers an unparalleled ga
llery of feminist creativity, ranging from emerging visual artists from the UK to multi-award-winning writers and translators from the Global South.
