About Woman’s Wales
Looking as much to the future as it does to the past, this fascinating collection of essays questions whether the Welsh Government has delivered on its promise to build a ‘feminist government’ for Wales and poses the question, what has devolution really meant for women in Wales?
This collection brings together leading voices from female writers, artists, commentators and academics to reflect on how devolution has affected them and altered our political and social landscapes. Here, a series of creative and personal responses explore the true impact of devolution on the lives of women living and working in Wales, from politics, to culture, to education, to healthcare and maternity.
About Emma Schofield
Emma Schofield is the Editor of Wales Arts Review and an academic, commentator and writer who has published widely on literature, culture and politics in Wales. Her research centres on the connection and interplay between culture, devolution and national identity in Wales, with an additional focus on the role of women within contemporary Wales. Emma features as a regular contributor to shows across BBC Radio Wales, Radio 3 and Radio 4 and teaches at Cardiff University.

She arranged for Gillian Clarke to write the first poem in the world by a national or poet laureate celebrating the LGBT people of a country.
