Raven Smith, Otegha Uwagba and Yassmin Abdel-Magied join Yomi to dive into two books from this year's Women's Prize for Fiction shortlist, The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood. Raven Smith is a fashion columnist and author of Trivial Pursuits, Otegha Uwagba is the former founder of the working women’s network Women Who and author of three incredible books - Little Black Book, We Need to Talk About Money and Whites: On Race and Other Falsehoods and Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a writer, engineer and award-winning social advocate. They discuss (and debate!) two of the incredible books from the 2021 Women’s Prize shortlist - in our very own book club where you can learn more about the six titles selected for this year’s prize. Every week, join journalist and author Yomi Agedoke, and inspirational guests including Elizabeth Day, Sara Pascoe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie as they celebrate the best books written by women. The Women’s Prize for Fiction is one of the most prestigious literary awards in the world, and has been running for over 25 years, and this series will offer unique access to the shortlisted authors and the 2021 Prize winner.
