Since 1996, the Women's Prize for Fiction has recognized and celebrated the best female writers around the world. Bestselling novelist and playwright Kate Mosse founded the UK-based Prize to champion women writers in what was then a male dominated awards scene. Despite representing 60% of books published, by 1992 only 10% of authors shortlisted for Booker Prize were women. While representation of women and BIPOC authors on award lists has improved over the years, the Women's Prize for Fiction continues to play a crucial role in shining a spotlight on outstanding writers. Discover amazing stories from the likes of Zadie Smith, Carol Shields, Ali Smith, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and more.
