Description: 100 Women grew from a desire to celebrate the differences and similarities of our lives. It started with a discussion about how we could showcase a range of experiences across ages, backgrounds and opportunities. We chose to tell the stories of 100 women, all connected to Newcastle in some way. Their tales are alike in some ways and starkly different in others. This collection shows women at every stage of life, from teenagers to octogenarians. Their backgrounds and circumstances may be different, but commonalities emerge. There are familiar themes, such as overcoming social constraints and the challenge of combining career with family. Other themes reflect universal challenges, such as poverty and lack of choice. But the stories also tell us about the importance of people and place, of connection, of understanding where you fit in the world and what you can offer.
