'Remarkably brought together, heartwarming and uplifting . . . showing that despite differences in age and background, geography and lifestyle, there is so much that binds up, so much we share' Kit de Waal
'A stimulating collection of women's voices to help inspire us for the next 100 years' Elizabeth Day

100 Voices is an anthology of writing by women across the country on what achievement means for them, and how they have come to find their own voice. Featuring poetry, fiction and memoir, the pieces range from notes on making lemon curd, to tales of marathon running and riding motorbikes, to accounts of a refugee eating English food for the first time, a newlywed learning her mother tongue and a woman rebuilding her life after an abusive relationship.

The poignant, funny and inspiring stories collected here are as varied and diverse as their authors, who include established names such as Louise Jensen, Sabrina Mahfouz, Yvonne Battle-Felton and Miranda Keeling alongside a host of exciting new writers. Taken together, they build a picture of what it’s really like to be a woman in the UK today.

Miranda Roszkowski is a writer and civil servant currently living on a boat somewhere on Britain’s waterways. She has an MA in Creative Writing from Birkbeck and has had fiction published in print and online, including through Birkbeck’s Mechanic’s Institute Review, which she has previously edited. She has worked with the National Theatre Wales and Royal Court playwrighting programmes and ran the spoken-word night There Goes The Neighbourhood in Hackney, London for three varied and glorious years. She is currently working on her first novel. Most importantly, she is passionate about great stories and who gets to tell them.
