A Woman's Shed: Spaces for women to create. write. make. grow. think. and escape

Why should men have all the sheds?Every woman deserves a shed of her own somewhere to retreat to for some quiet time to create or grow to write or paint or just to contemplate the view. Gill Heriz has interviewed over 70 different women and Nicolette Hallett has photographed their sheds inside and out to collect together this unique insight into why women have sheds and what they do in them. There are sheds for puppet-makers sculptors and writers as well as farmers furniture-makers and woodcutters. There are sheds that can be lived in sheds that are full to the rafters and sheds that are simply sheds with the usual collection of gardening tools lawnmowers and seed packets. Virginia Woolf once argued that for women writing fiction required “a room of one’s own.” These women have taken that premise a step further—to the end of the backyard—to find their own very personal space.
