| book description |

A captivating collection of women's writing – including poetry, letters, novels, memoir, and journals – that celebrates the joy of being a woman. This glorious collection takes a refreshing look at everything there is to enjoy about the experience of womanhood. Chapters include ‘Firsts’ with voices such as Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, and Marie Curie, the first female Nobel prize-winner; ‘Festivities’ which emphasises frivolity and pleasure; ‘Friends’ exploring the depth of connection experienced through female friendship; ‘Family’ on mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and grandmothers; and other chapters celebrate women’s creativity, passion and love of life. From Amy Tan representing the uplifting comfort of parties with friends in The Joy Luck Club to Sylvia Plath considering the fierce and confusing love she feels for her mother, and Elizabeth I embracing her role as Britain’s first successful woman ruler, Celebrating Women includes a diverse range of voices from across the ages that explore the breadth of experience in different women’s lives.
