Celebrate a book birthday with us!

This time last year we launched the beautiful, thoughtful and powerful The Flesh and the Fruit: Remembering Eve and the Power of Creative Transgression.

To celebrate we're honoured to invite you to a very special live Masterclass, hosted by author Dr. Vanya Leilani on Zoom. This inspiring event is a wonderful companion to the book.

Monday October 6, 2025, 6pm (UK time) 10am (Pacific Time US and Canada)

During this one-hour Masterclass, Dr. Leilani will guide us into a deep dive on the experience and power of wild disobedience.

We will explore questions like: what is creative transgression, or wild disobedience, and what is its relationship to cultivating sovereignty?

We will look at the ways the archetype of creative transgression shows up in myth, in nature, and in our daily lived experience. You will be invited to wonder where disobedience might be calling you into more sovereignty and leave better equipped to follow your knowing into more freedom.

Your invitation to the event will be included in your order notification, and all who register will receive a recording of the event.

Have you ever been told you’re “Too Much…”?

Too Much Woman, a Womancraft Publishing Compendium
This vibrant collection of prose, poetry and art offers a powerful response to this historic patriarchal tactic of silencing, shaming and diminishing women. Our third Womancraft Compendium weaves together best-selling authors, and over seventy diverse writers and artists from around the world.

  • Too Emotional?
  • Too Big?
  • Too Ambitious?
  • Too Sexual?
  • Too Weird?
  • Too Loud?
  • Too…?

For generations, women have been told to make themselves smaller: quieter, softer, less demanding, less visible. “Too much” has been used as a weapon — a way of silencing, shaming and diminishing women who refuse to fit neatly into the boundaries set for them.

Too Much Woman says: enough.

This vibrant third Womancraft Compendium is a celebration of women in all their complexity, contradiction and glorious muchness. Through poetry, essays, personal reflections, and art of all kinds, more than 70 writers and artists from around the world explore what it means to be a woman who cannot – and will not – be contained.

These are voices reclaiming desire, ambition, anger, pleasure, creativity, vulnerability, power and possibility. Voices speaking to the experiences of those who have been judged, shamed or silenced for being too visible, too passionate, too complicated, too sexual, too powerful – simply too woman.

Come and reclaim your muchness.
Embrace your enoughness.
And discover that perhaps you were never too much at all.

With an introduction and foreword by Lucy H. Pearce, founder of Womancraft Publishing.

10% of proceeds from the book will be donated to women’s charities.
