A beautiful and thought-provoking collection of poetry from the world's most inspiring female writers.

From the vivid, contemporary voices of Fiona Benson and Sapphire to the evocative imagery of George Eliot, Christina Rossetti and Emily Bronte - even the haunting voices of Deborah and Venmaniputti still speak to us from across the centuries.

Their words reflect and play on the themes that engage and inspire all women today - whether empowering us with courage and love, firing creativity and imagination, or simply meditating on family, home and life in general. Stunning illustrations throughout breathe life into these timeless poems, which continue to resound in our modern times.
