The editors of this book asked 100 remarkable women to choose poems that have moved them to tears. The poems range from Shakespeare to Sylvia Plath, W.H. Auden to Carol Ann Duffy, from love and loss, through mortality and mystery, war and peace, to the beauty and variety of nature. From Yoko Ono to Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave to Michelle Williams, Carol Ann Duffy to Joyce Carol Oates, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to Chelsea Manning, this collection delivers private insights into the minds of women whose writing, acting, and thinking are admired around the world.
