Throughout history, many female writers have used male pen names for their work to be published or taken seriously.

In collaboration with the Women’s Prize for Fiction, we have put their real names on the front of their work for the first time to honour their achievements and give them the credit they deserve.

The collection of books celebrate the Women’s Prize for Fiction’s 25th anniversary of championing female writers everywhere.
