Writer and social commentator Yasmin Alibhai-Brown celebrates 50 courageous and indomitable women whose stories she says should be better known.
Alibhai-Brown says women have been fighting for freedoms and equality and challenging the world order for centuries, yet their contributions are often marginalised and squeezed aside by the usual cast of male characters. She sets out to put that right for 50 women, including Anne Lister, the lesbian landowner; Sophia Singh, the forgotten suffragette; Detective Superintendent Shabnam Chaudhri, the first Asian/Muslim to hold that role in the Met; and Harriet Wistrich, the human rights lawyer.
Alibhai-Brown is a regular columnist for i and feature writer for the Sunday Times Magazine. She is a winner of the Orwell Prize and author of In Defence of Political Correctness and Refusing the Veil.
