With intolerance and inequality increasingly normalised by the day, it's more important than ever for women to share their experiences. We must hold the truth to account in the midst of sensationalism and international political turmoil. Nasty Women is a collection of essays, interviews and accounts on what it is to be a woman in the 21st century.
People, politics, pressure, punk - from working class experience to racial divides in Trump’s America, being a child of immigrants, to sexual assault, Brexit, pregnancy, contraception, identity, family, finding a voice online, role models and more, Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!, Zeba Talkhani, Chitra Ramaswamy are just a few of the incredible women who share their experience here.

Katie M, Reviewer
After following the social media hype - and hugely successful Kickstarter - surrounding 404 Ink's essay collection, I was dying to discover what was in its pages. Thankfully, the book doesn't disappoint; in fact, I found it dug deeper, and covered more wide-ranging issues, than I had expected. From racism to sexism, pregnancy to death, immigration to ableism, Nasty Woman looks at what it means to be a woman today through a variety of experiences and perspectives. For anyone looking for the courage to embrace their inner #NastyWoman in the current climate, 404 Ink has more than a few ideas for you.
