An interlinked collection of fiction celebrating women's lives and their search for love and freedom

What if the choices of women centuries apart could echo across time?

A sister haunted by her return from war. A young woman discovering her identity at a Berlin rave in the mid-2000s. A mother whose son's climate activism threatens everything she's built. At the heart of these fictional stories is Mary Wollstonecraft, the radical 18th-century feminist whose own struggles with love, loss and revolution illuminate the threads that connect all their lives.

From quiet moments of caregiving and curiosity to acts of bold rebellion, the women in this striking story collection navigate the eternal tensions between duty and desire, safety and freedom, the past they've inherited and the future they're determined to create.

All Her Lives brings together extraordinary women fighting to define themselves on their own terms.
