The non-fiction books by women or for women published so far this year that are resonating with Tatler Front & Female
June saw the announcement of the winners of a number of book prizes, including some specifically for women. Among them were the prestigious Women’s Prize For Fiction, which this year went to American author V. V. Ganeshananthan for her novel Brotherless Night, and the inaugural Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction, awarded to Naomi Klein for her book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, both of which were announced on June 13.
Earlier in the month, the Sports Book Awards recognised former professional mountain bike racer Lee Craigie, whose book Other Ways To Win was named winner of the Vikki Orvice Award for Women’s Sports Writing.
The year to date has seen many more books outside the long- and shortlists of these awards and others worth celebrating—and reading. From books that capture and consider the female experience, to career-focused tomes, books that shed light on various aspects of woman- and motherhood, and memoirs, manifestos and tributes, this is Front & Female’s selection of our favourite non-fiction works of 2024 so far.
