Ana Sampson has compiled a powerful collection of poems written by women, ranging from the ancient world to the present; it includes poems from suffragettes to school girls, from spoken word superstars to civil rights activists, from aristocratic ladies to kitchen maids – all with voices worth hearing. Immerse yourself in poems by Wendy Cope, Maya Angelou, Ysra Daley-Ward, Carol Ann Duffy, Jackie Kay, Imtiaz Dharker and many more. Ana will share her passion for poetry with Emma Harding, a BBC radio producer and writer.
