Not only men need a shed - this selection of sheds from the UK, North America, and Europe shows how women everywhere can claim and use their personal space.
Every woman deserves a shed for herself, a place to retreat for a little quiet time, to create or grow, to write or paint, or simply to contemplate the view. Gill Heriz has interviewed more than 80 different women, and Nicolette Hallett has photographed their sheds inside and out, gathering this unique image of why women have sheds and what they do in them. There are sheds for puppet makers, sculptors, and writers, as well as farmers, furniture makers, and woodcutters. There are sheds that can be lived in, sheds that are full, and sheds that are just sheds, with the usual collection of garden tools, lawnmowers, and seed packets. Virginia Woolf once argued that, for women, writing novels required "a room of their own." These women have taken that argument a step further - to the edge of the garden - to find their own very personal space.
