Writing is hard work, regardless of gender, and it is synonymous with the highest concentration. So far, workshop reports from women have been rare. This book now brings together contributions about the intersection of life and art for the first time. Sometimes moving and candid, sometimes pragmatic and realistic, each text reflects female creativity in its own way and dispels outdated stereotypes of women writers.

What motivates women writers to write? What challenges do they face in their daily lives, what inspires them, and what keeps them going? This book celebrates the diversity and greatness of women who write.
