In July 1998, the Government of Wales Act was passed, ushering in the era of devolution in Wales. As powers were transferred from the Westminster Government to the newly established Welsh Assembly, the lives of the Welsh people underwent a seismic transformation. Twenty-five years later, this collection brings together a diverse range of leading voices from female writers, artists, commentators, and academics to explore the profound impact of devolution on their lives and the broader political and social landscape of Wales.
A series of creative and personal responses delve into the multifaceted effects of devolution on the experiences of women living and working in Wales. From politics to culture, education to healthcare, and maternity, the collection offers a nuanced exploration of the ways in which devolution has shaped and influenced these aspects of daily life.
Looking both backward and forward, the collection raises critical questions about whether the Welsh Government has lived up to its promise to establish a feminist government for Wales. It also prompts us to consider the broader implications of devolution on the rights and opportunities of women in the country.
Through a blend of essays, poetry, artwork, and interviews, this collection provides a rich and multifaceted perspective on the transformative power of devolution for women in Wales. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Welsh women who have played a vital role in shaping the nation's political and social landscape.
